According to the minister, a strategic partner is being sought for the revival of TOR to ensure it resumes full operation and produces at maximum capacity. Krapa added that the timeframe for the resumption was agreed upon by TOR management.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cEarlier today, I paid working visits to Tema Oil Refinery and Sentuo Oil Refinery. I am happy to announce that together with the management of TOR, we agreed on a three-month timeline for the resumption of the plant.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cI also announced the government\u2019s plan to immediately revive TOR\u2019s Testing Laboratory for revenue generation. I charged both TOR and Sentuo to see each other as partners and collaborate for the growth of both refineries,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0Krapa said.<\/p>\n<p>He added:\u00a0<em>\u201cThere is no gain in saying TOR needs all our support and attention, and we all need to put our hands on deck.
