Kaduna Refinery stops production as Niger Delta avengers cripple crude supply

The Kaduna Refining and Petrochemical Company (KRPC) has stop production following renewed activities of Niger Delta militants.

Reports gathered revealed that the Kaduna refinery stopped production last week Tuesday with sources attributing it to lack of crude oil.

“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,” a source said. 

The source said 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.” 

The Refinery only resumed production late April and has barely functioned for two months.
