A Niger Delta based entrepreneur, Mr. Richard Akinaka, has praised President Bola Tinubu for the timely and successful re-opening of the Port Harcourt Petroleum Refinery.

Akinaka, who is the founder of Abitto Global Services limited, an oil and gas service provider, said the re-opening of the refinery will have major and significant impact on Nigeria’s oil production and economy.

He made the commendation while addressing newsmen in Yenagoa.

According to him, the revamping and commencement of production by the refinery would help reduce the pressure on the nation’s currency and inflow of forex.

He noted that it was also an advantage to the pursuit of Nigeria’s zero petroleum oil product import.

Akinaka further applauded Port Harcourt Refinery management, led by Mr Ibrahim Onaja, and Technomont, the contractors, for their tireless work and unwavering commitment to the realisation of the objectives of rehabilitation of the refinery.
