Management of the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum

Regulatory Authority has issued an operational licence to Edo Refinery and

Petrochemical Company Limited, Ologbo, in the Ikpoba-Okha Local

Government Area of Edo State.

The Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority is

the technical and commercial regulator of midstream and downstream

operations in the petroleum industry, and the issuance of operational licence

is the final stage of approval from the regulatory authority which implies that

the plant can now fully operate as a refinery.

The Executive Director, Hydrocarbon Processing Plant Installation and

Transport Infrastructure, Francis Ogaree, handed over the operational

licence to the Refinery Head, Technical Operations, Segun Okeni and assured

the management of the refinery that the regulatory authority is a business

enabler and would be ready to give AIPCC Energy and Edo Refinery all the

necessary support in all its projects.

Responding, the Head of Technical Operations of Edo Refinery and

Petrochemical Company Limited, Segun Okeni, said the company is out to

make her contributions to the petroleum refinery and gas processing

subsector.
