“We’re not lying to Nigerians. We’ve told you that this is going to be in three phases and the first phase is definitely going to be within the tenure of this administration.”

According to the Minister, President Muhammadu Buhari wants to leave behind a legacy of functional refineries for Nigerians. The Minister also noted that the rehabilitation would take 18 months and the first phase would get the refinery to 90 percent operational capacity.
