Kaduna Refinery to distribute 2 million litres petrol in the State
The Managing Director, Kaduna Refining and Petrochemical Company (KRPC), Idi Muktar, has said that the company will distribute 2 million of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) in Kaduna State on Wednesday.
The Managing Director disclosed this on Tuesday while receiving leadership of the State Union of Journalists in the state, stressing that efforts have been put in place to ensure constant supply of the product to help reduce the hardship Nigerians are facing due to fuel scarcity in the state.
His words: “I want to announce that by Wednesday Kaduna Refinery will begin operation with the release of 2 million litres of PMS in Kaduna. This will help reduce the hardship the citizens are facing due to fuel scarcity in the state.
“Sustainability of the product is another issue Nigerians will want to hear. With available crude oil we will be producing 2 million PMS a day. I can assure you that all hands are on deck to ensure supply. We also hope Nigerians will continue praying for it to be sustained.”
According to the MD, once the supply of crude is sustained, there will be no scarcity of fuel in the country.
He also blamed some bad elements in the society for the fuel scarcity, “from March to April we witnessed 13 infractions with the pipelines from Abuja to Kaduna. We are losing petrol due to activities of unpatriotic elements tempering with pipelines which is unfortunate,” he said.
Muktar stressed that, it was high time these unpatriotic Nigerians realized the harm done to the country due to their unpatriotic behaviour.
He assured the visiting journalists of his company’s readiness to partner with media in the development of the country.
