Activities at the Kaduna Refining and Petrochemical Company, KRPC, is currently on hold over lack of crude oil supply.
It was gathered that the Kaduna refinery stopped production last week Tuesday over what a source attributed to lack of crude oil, Leadership reports.
A source, who spoke on the development said: “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.
lol as long as Warri refinery is not working Kaduna can’t work it’s simple mathematics
