A statement signed by Ohi Alegbe, group general manager, Group Public Affairs Division, NNPC, said that petrol production was projected to increase to more than 10 million litres per day by the end of this month.
A breakdown of the petrol yield from the various plants showed that the Port Harcourt refinery, which was re-streamed a week earlier, produced 4.09 million litres; the Kaduna refinery, contributed 1.29 million litres; and the Warri refinery, which was re-streamed on Sunday, produced 1.38 million litres.
