NNPC Seeks Commercial Funding Model for Port Harcourt, Warri Refineries
By Ayo Kehinde The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC Ltd.) says it is ending the practice of financing the Port Harcourt and Warri refineries with crude-backed loans, as it shifts to a commercial funding model aimed at making the facilities financially self-sustaining.

According to Ojulari, the company’s long-term strategy is to reposition the refineries as commercially viable businesses capable of attracting financing independently. He stated, “We’re moving away from situations where the refineries …
