STRATEGIC RELEVANCE
Restoring the backbone that moves Nigeria's fuels
ARPDS restores the backbone that moves Nigeria’s fuels. By returning pipelines and depots to reliable service, we unlock inland access, cut logistics costs, and de-risk refining growth. The Lot 1 corridor links coast to country, strengthening energy security from Port Harcourt to key markets.
National Supply Reliability
Restores pipeline-based evacuation and depot availability along the Bonny–Port Harcourt–Aba–Enugu axis, improving inland access to products and easing pressure on road haulage.
Refining Enablement
Complements the ARG ecosystem by providing logistics readiness for downstream distribution from Port Harcourt and by strengthening the national backbone that future refining capacity will rely on.
Operational Efficiency
Replaces fragmented, higher-cost movements with programmed pipeline and depot operations, supported by rehabilitation of metering, loading, and control systems.
