The President, in a statement issued by his spokesman, Femi Adesina, was particularly excited as the signing came on the back of ongoing rehabilitation works at Warri refinery by Daewoo Group which will at the first instance, deliver fuel production before the first half of 2023.
According to him, “Daewoo Group has massive investments in the automobile, maritime and other sectors of our economy. I am also aware that Daewoo is currently engaged in the execution of the NLNG train seven project and constructing sea-going LPG vessels for NNPC and her partners.”
He said he looked “forward to the delivery of ongoing projects, especially at the Warri and Kaduna refineries, and the NLNG Train Seven,” stressing that “this no doubt will open many more windows of opportunities for Daewoo and other Korean companies in Nigeria.”
“I thank you for your faith in Nigeria,” President Buhari told the Korean conglomerate at the end of the ceremony on the last day of his visit to the Asian country to attend the First World Bio Summit.
