The minister stated this at the pre-commissioning inspection of the Waltersmith’s 5000 barrels per day (bpd) modular refinery located in Ohaji-Egbema in Imo. The second phase, according to him, will deliver 25,000 bpd crude and condensate refinery, an upgrade on the 5,000bpd modular refinery and designed to produce gasoline, diesel, LPG, kerosene and aviation fuel. “We can show Nigerians that while every previous administration has been talking about the modular refinery, no government has succeeded in realising the dream of bringing it alive. “I am sure that before many of us came here we did not know what a modular refinery looks like. The minister recalled the history of the Waltersmith modular refinery as recounted by the chairman of the company.
