Former President of Nigeria, Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, on Monday visited the Azikel Group Base and the Azikel Refinery in Gbarain, Yenagoa Local Government Area of Bayelsa State, to assess the progress of work and encourage the workforce.
He was received by the Group President, Dr. Eruani Azibapu, who led him and his entourage through the refinery’s ISBL base unit, which is now 90% complete.
Goodluck Jonathan expressed delight at the level of progress recorded so far and inspected the newly acquired helicopters, which will be used for project supervision and guest transportation to the refinery site.
Speaking during the visit, Dr. Eruani assured the former president that the Azikel Refinery, upon completion, would contribute significantly to Nigeria’s energy supply, starting with Bayelsa State.
