The Group Managing Director, Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC Maikanti Baru says the corporation plans to bridge the gap of petroleum products supply in the country.
Baru said this while fielding questions from journalists after a facility tour of Lee Engineering and construction Firm, in Warri Delta state.
He said that with the Nigeria’s projected population growth of 230 million by 2025, there was the need to work hard to ensure the country meets the projected product supply gap.
He said that the coming on stream of Dangote Refinery and the co-location of refineries from Europe to the country was part of the efforts of the corporation to meet the supply gap.
Baru noted that the corporation was also looking at condensate production to help mitigate the situation.
Condensate is one of the lightest and most valuable crude oil which can be used to produce petrol, jet fuel, diesel and heating fuel.
