摘要

What does NNPC boss Mele Kyari have in mindto dispel the curse plaguing Nigeria’s four refineries?Following glitches spanning decades,the four units currently operate at between 15%and 25% of their full capacity and are unable tomeet the country’s demand for fuel. Kyari’shopes are riding more on the emergence ofsmall refinery facilities than work to rehabilitateexisting units of which the results are uncertain.This includes billionaire Aliko Dangote’s project,now several years behind schedule.
