Discountenance Such Reports, PH Refinery Fully Operational, NNPCL Says
The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC Ltd.) has trashed media reports that the newly relaunched Port Harcourt Refinery has been shut down.
A statement titled “PORT-HARCOURT REFINERY FULLY OPERATIONAL” signed by Olufemi Soneye, the Chief Corporate Communications Officer of the nation’s petroleum company that dismissed the news as unfounded and totally false reads.
The attention of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC Ltd.) has been drawn to reports in a section of the media alleging that the Old Port Harcourt Refinery which was re-streamed two months ago has been shut down.
We wish to clarify that such reports are totally false as the refinery is fully operational as verified a few days ago by former Group Managing Directors of NNPC.
Preparation for the day’s loading operation is currently ongoing.
Members of the public are advised to discountenance such reports as they are the figments of the imagination of those who want to create artificial scarcity and rip-off Nigerians.
