Nigeria is holding talks to give
up majority stakes in all four of its moribund oil refineries,
Mele Kyari, head of the state oil firm NNPC, said on Wednesday.
He told Channels TV that discussions were taking place on an
operating model in which the state oil company NNPC or the
government would be a minority shareholder in the assets.
“It means there will be more scrutiny of shareholders and
also becoming more efficient to operate. That conversation is on
the table,” said Kyari, NNPC’s group managing director, without
specifying how the government planned to transfer ownership, or
to whom.
The refineries have for years worked only sporadically due
to chronic underinvestment. NNPC said in April that it had shut
them all down to secure funding for their refurbishment, and
would no longer manage them when they reopened. The four refineries are located at three sites in Kaduna,
Warri and Port Harcourt. Kyari said the pipelines that feed them
with crude oil were badly damaged.
The refineries processed almost no crude in the 13 months to
end June, according to NNPC data last month, even though their
operating costs totalled $367 million. (Writing by Alexis Akwagyiram; Editing by Kevin Liffey)
