The Federal University of Petroleum Resources, Effurun, FUPRE, Delta says it has reached an advanced stage in the construction of a mini-refinery in response to the difficult challenge of fuel supply facing Nigeria.
FUPRE Vice Chancellor, VC, at FUPRE, Prof. Akii Ibhadode, disclosed this at the 9th Matriculation of the institution where 715 intakes took the oath and sign the matriculation register as new students. According to him, the mini-refinery sited in the school’s premises is near completion and awaiting the nod of the industry regulator, the Department of Petroleum Resources, DPR.
He said the project when completed, would also serve as a legally acceptable alternative to discouraging the environmentally destructive illegal refineries.
To the matriculants, Prof Ibhadode said: “You must demonstrate sound academic aptitude to provide technical answers in line with societal quest. You must weigh consequences of your individual and collective actions. “You should be on guard to resist any attempt to lure you into cultism. Cultism is evil before God and man. The school will not condone destruction of its property or any unruly behaviour.”
The 9th Matriculation of FUPRE also featured for the first time since its establishment in 2007, the rendition of the varsity’s anthem reportedly produced by a committee led by Dr. Chinelo Nwokolo.
