The take-off of the contentious Maritime University and establishment of Modular refineries for absorption of illegal refiners will soon be seen in the Niger Delta, as the federal government has prioritized the projects.
Also on the federal government’s priority list are the revamping of the pipeline protection contract, review of Amnesty Programme and the revival of abandoned project in the region.
To demonstrate its readiness, plans have been concluded to release a substantial take-off grant for the university, located in Gbaramatu, while awaiting the conclusion of legislation on the establishment of the university by the National Assembly.
The Presidency has also directed the NDDC to liaise with the relevant agencies and organisations to facilitate the construction of an access road through Escravos to the university in Gbaramatu.
While, the modular refineries would be private sector driven, the maritime university would be funded by the Petroleum Trust Development Fund as the lead agency.
