The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC Ltd) has reiterated that the Old Port Harcourt Refinery which was re-streamed two months ago is working.
NNPC, in a statement on Saturday by its Chief Corporate Communications Officer, Mr. Olufemi Soneye said the clarification was necessary due to reports in a section of the media alleging that the Refinery has been shut down.
Soneye said such reports are totally false as the refinery is fully operational as verified a few days ago by former Group Managing Directors of NNPC.
He noted that preparation for the day’s loading operation is currently ongoing.
He, therefore, advised the members of the public to discountenance such reports as they are the figments of the imagination of those who want to create artificial scarcity and rip-off Nigerians.
