  • A Nigerian lawmaker has criticized the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) for withholding information about refinery rehabilitation.
  • The chairman of the House Committee on Downstream Petroleum expressed concern over the lack of transparency from NNPCL.
  • The NNPCL has reportedly failed to provide updates on refinery projects, raising questions about their progress.

Hon. Ikenga Ugochinyere, who chairs the House of Representatives Committee on Downstream Petroleum, has publicly criticized the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL). He stated that the state-owned oil company has kept Nigerians in the dark regarding the rehabilitation and revival of the country's refineries.

Ugochinyere expressed his concern over NNPCL's failure to provide adequate information about these crucial projects. The lack of transparency has fueled speculation and public distrust about the actual status and progress of efforts to restore the nation's refining capacity.

The lawmaker's remarks highlight a significant gap in communication between NNPCL and oversight bodies, as well as the general public. Nigerians have long awaited tangible results from refinery upgrades, and the continued opacity from the company only exacerbates existing frustrations.
