The Kaduna Refining and Petrochemical Company (KRPC) has stop production following renewed activities of Niger Delta militants.
Our
Correspondent gathered that the Kaduna refinery stopped production last
week Tuesday over what a source attributed to lack of crude oil.
According
to the source, “we have shut down production for now. We do not have
crude supply, am sure it is due to the renewed militancy in the Niger
Delta region.”
The source however assured that the refinery has
enough Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) in reserve pending when they would
start getting supply of the crude.
“We will resume production as
soon as we started getting crude supply from the Niger Delta. We are
ready and our equipment are functional, the only problem now is the
crude,” said our source.
The Refinery only resumed production late April during the fuel scarcity period.
