Integrated Oil and Gas Limited at the weekend said it will ensure that its $116 million refinery would be a reference point in Nigeria.
Group Managing Director of the firm, Anthony Iheanacho addressed newsmen during a facility tour of the refinery last weekend in Lagos.
Iheanacho disclosed that the company has submitted its Front End Engineering Design (FEED) to DPR and was awaiting approval to move to the Authority to Construct stage (ATC).
