1.6 SCOPE OF THE STUDY
The
scope of this study is limited to Kaduna Refining and Petrochemical
Company Limited, which is a subsidiary of Nigeria National Petroleum
Corporation, within this, the study will only be concerned with KRPC as a
government organization of the country to establish to ensure the
development of the country and the state in particular. The research
scope within this case study does not include its general activities but
the area of manpower development as a prominent or versatile tool for
ensuring industrial efficiency in the organization.
1.7 LIMITATION OF THE STUDY
Firms
were in short supply to the researcher and the researchers could not
purchase some valuable printed materials needed for this project at the
time they are most needed. The expenses on transportation to KRPC are so
enormous because on many occasions the researcher was not attended and
would leave without the information required, this happened because
especially in the collection of questionnaires. Also, the issue of
limited time by which this project must be completed and submitted has
hindered a thorough investigation and information of data source. The
research had a restricted feasibility in the area of the case study,
this is due to bureaucratic reasons in the administrative procedures in
the organization, it was not possible to get allt he necessary
information that would have helped in producing a comprehensive research
work, the process of going through some records to get data was very
tedious and formidable task as some materials needed are tagged “TOP
SECRETâ€.
1.8 HISTORICAL BACKGROUND OF KRPC
Since KRPC is the
main focus of this study, it is necessary to look at it more closely,
the Kaduna Refining and Petrochemical Company is a subsidiary of
Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (established in 1971 known as
Nigerian National Oil Corporation [NNOC] by then). The federal
government’s decision to construct the third NNPC Refinery in Kaduna was
taken along with that of Warri location as far back as 1974. The whole
idea were to supplement the plant at Port Harcourt and to discourage the
wastage of foreign exchange used in the importation of petroleum
products, KRPC thus was established for the purpose of refining crude
oil into high value petroleum products and exploitation of other related
profitable business in cooperate interest of the organization and the
whole nation in general, However, KRPC did not start operation until
1979. The activities of KRPC are divided into refinery and petrochemical
units with each unit leaving its own activities and producing different
output from the other unit.
REFINERY PRODUCTS The KRPC undertakes
the refining of the following products i.e. dual purpose kerosene (for
domestic use) motor gasoline, base fuel, lube oil, waxes, surplus,
Naphtha, black wax, asphalt, Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) and petrol.
PETROCHEMICAL (LABORATORY) PRODUCT
The following listed are petro-chemical products made at the KRPC Liner Alkene/Benzene Petro – Chemical plant, Kaduna.
1.
Solvent (For End Users): Insecticides, plants, vanishes, degasses,
mental cleansing, polishes for shoes, filer and furniture.
2. Benzene: Aromatic solvent paints and leagues, pharmaceutical industrial chemicals and Aviation Gasoline.
3. Tins and Drums: Are also manufactured and other users of tins and drums are containers of their products.
4.
Heave Alkylate: Transformer oil, lubrication oil, Greases and Tremolo
fluids. The essence of this study is to see how manpower development can
be a tool for the efficiency of the production of the above mentioned
products to ascertain organization objectives.
