“On Track To Meet Our Delivery Timelines” – BUA Reacts To Misleading Report On Refinery Project
BUA Group has reacted to a report misleading the public about the status of its ongoing 200,000 barrels per day refinery project in Akwa Ibom State.
In a communication titled “BUA REFINERY AND PETROCHEMICALS, AKWA IBOM: AN UPDATE” the business entity founded in 1988 by billionaire businessman, Abdul Samad Rabiu, maintained it’s on track to meet delivery timelines in collaboration with its partners but not at 90% completion.
The communication that equally provided updates on it other energy projects across Nigeria reads…
Contrary to a misleading report stating that our 200,000 barrels/day refinery is at 90% completion, BUA wishes to advise the public to disregard such misleading reports that did not emanate from us.
As we make remarkable strides on our Akwa Ibom refinery project, we are proud to share that construction is progressing steadily. Whilst the refinery is not at 90% completion, we are however on track to meet our delivery timelines in collaboration with our partners. This BUA Refinery & Petrochemicals project represents a major milestone in strengthening Nigeria’s refining capacity and energy security.
Our other energy projects, including the construction of a mini-LNG plant and several new hybrid power plants across the country to add additional capacity to our over 1,000MW installed captive power generation capacity, are also progressing rapidly.
The public is advised to verify any news through our official channels and platforms so as not to be misled by mischievous persons.
At BUA, we remain committed to transparency and excellence. As we have consistently done with over 12 of our completed mega industrial projects worth over $ 3.5 billion in the past 10 years, we will continue to keep you updated with verifiable and accurate information only where necessary, and as milestones are achieved. We appreciate the public’s interest and enthusiasm for this transformative project as we work together in building a stronger industrial and manufacturing base for a self-reliant Nigeria.

Management
