We will also continue to review and amend as appropriate.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n<p>The president saluted the leadership and members of the Ninth Assembly for their \u201cpatriotism, dedication to duty, candour and most importantly the dispatch with which they have enacted legacy legislation for this nation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI do not take such level of cooperation for granted and hope it continues for the overall efficiency of the federal machinery.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n<p>The president noted that Nigeria\u2019s roadmap on local refining was on track with the inauguration of a modular refinery in Imo.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, a second modular refinery is scheduled for inauguration by the end of 2021 in Edo with the third one in Bayelsa by 2022.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn addition to the modular projects, we also have the two mega refinery projects coming up in Lagos and Akwa Ibom States.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs these refineries are commissioned, more employment opportunities are created and there would be increased petroleum products available for local consumption which will significantly reduce our reliance on importation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn further demonstrating our plan to reduce our dependence on oil and tapping from our enormous gas resources, this administration remains committed to the \u201cDecade of Gas\u201d Initiative, which is aimed at bringing to focus the utilisation of our huge gas resources.<\/p>\n<p>He revealed that already the government has been supporting and promoting various gas-based projects, including NLNG Train 7 and the mega urea and ammonia projects in the South-South region.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mail-message-footer spacer collapsible\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8230; Identifies NASS member financing secessionist agitators President Muhammadu Buhari has again warned that the Federal Government remains ready to take decisive actions against secessionist agitators and their sponsors who&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":86551,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-86550","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-exclusive"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
