FG Grants License for 27,000-Barrel Refinery

The Federal Government, through the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA), has approved a license for the establishment and construction of a new refinery.

The license was granted to Process Design and Development Limited to build a 27,000 barrels per day (BPD) refinery in Dole-Wure, Akko Local Government Area of Gombe State.

In an announcement on its official X (formerly Twitter) handle on Thursday, NMDPRA stated, “The Authority Chief Executive presented a License to Establish a 27,000 BPD refinery to the Managing Director/CEO of Process Design and Development Limited. The refinery is to be located in Dole-Wure, Akko, Gombe State.”

This development increases Nigeria’s total number of modular and conventional refineries to about 10. However, many of these facilities remain underutilized or non-operational, with limited refining efficiency.
