This NSChE Fellows’ report evaluates the persistent failure of NNPCL’s refineries, petrochemical plants, pipelines, and depots, identifying poor governance, political interference, inadequate maintenance, and infrastructure degradation as the primary causes. It argues that these assets remain strategically valuable and can be restored through modernization, capacity expansion, and stronger regulation. The report’s central recommendation is the transition from full government ownership to a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model, with NNPCL retaining minority equity while private operators assume operational control. It also proposes upgrading refinery capacity from 445,000 bpd to about 800,000 bpd, rehabilitating pipeline and depot networks, and strengthening the independence of industry regulators to ensure long-term efficiency, profitability, and national energy security.
