Edo, Chinese Firm Sign Pact To Build Modular Refinery
The Edo State Government has signed an agreement with a Chinese firm, Peiyang Chemical Equipment Co. Limited (PCC) to build modular refinery in the state.
The project, which has the capacity to produce 1,000 barrel of crude per day is expected to be completed in April, 2019.
The Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed in Tianjin, China by Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki, PCC President, Mr Huaming Tian and Vice President of Tianjin University, Hu Wenping.
The university owns 51 percent interest in the company.
Speaking after signing the agreement, Obaseki said the state is collaborating with the university because of its key competence in emerging engineering technology.
As a result of the collaboration, the governor said the university offers the state an agreement to provide scholarships for Edo students to study engineering and build technical manpower in areas that relate to oil and gas.
Obaseki said the project would provide job opportunities for the teeming youth as well as make the state a hub for petro-chemical industries in Nigeria.
“…We have the largest onshore gas reserve. We want to see how we can leverage on some of the natural resources we have to ensure that we build an industry that is local and sustainable,” the governor said.
The Vice President of Tianjin University, Mr. Hu Wenping, said the Forum on China Africa Cooperation (FOCAC) provides the university opportunity to collaborate with Edo, being one of the oil producing states in Nigeria.
The collaboration, he said, would enhance relations between Nigeria and China.

Dangote Refinery Resumes Gantry Self-Collection Sales, Tuesday
This is revealed in an email communication from the Group Commercial Operations Department of the company, and obtained by Newsmen, at the Weekend.
The company explained that while gantry access is being reinstated, the free delivery service remains operational, with marketers encouraged to continue registering their outlets for direct supply at no additional cost.
The statement said “in reference to the earlier email communication on the suspension of the PMS self-collection gantry sales, please note that we will be resuming the self-collection gantry sales on the 23rd of September, 2025”.
Dangote Petroleum Refinery also apologised to its partners for any inconvenience the suspension may have caused, while assuring stakeholders of its commitment to improving efficiency and ensuring seamless supply.
“Meanwhile, please be informed that we are aggressively delivering on the free delivery scheme, and it is still open for registration. We encourage you to register your stations and pay for the product to be delivered directly to you for free. We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding,” it added.
It would be recalled that in September 18, 2025, Dangote refinery had suspended gantry-based self-collection of petroleum products at its depot. The move was designed to accelerate the adoption of its Free Delivery Scheme, which guarantees direct shipments of petroleum products to registered retail outlets across Nigeria.
The refinery stressed that the earlier decision was an operational adjustment aimed at streamlining efficiency in the downstream supply chain.
