Fresh optimism is emerging over the future of Nigeria’s Warri Refining and Petrochemicals Company (WRPC) after a team of Chinese engineers commenced a comprehensive technical assessment of the ageing facility as part of a renewed effort to restore it to full commercial operations.
The latest development marks a significant step in the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited’s (NNPCL) strategy to revive one of the country’s key state-owned refineries, which has struggled with years of poor performance, repeated shutdowns and unsuccessful rehabilitation projects.
