Dr. Eruani, who shared the optimism that Africa would achieve energy sufficiency, explained that Azikel Refinery is the first orivate Hydro-skimming refinery in Nigeria and also the only Condensate Feedstock utilising refinery in Africa billed to produce refined products of Euro V grade, thereby ensuring cleaner energy and environmental protection.

He assured that the Azikel Hydro-skimming Refinery daily output would contribute significantly to the energy demand in Nigeria, and exportation within African continent and beyond.
