We didn’t shut down Port Harcourt Refinery – NNPC

The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC Ltd) on Saturday said that the Old Port Harcourt Refinery is fully operational.

The NNPC Ltd, in a statement by Olufemi Soneye, its chief corporate communications officer on Saturday, made this known in reaction to reports alleging that the refinery had been shut down, just two months after it resumed operations.

In its statement, the NNPC said the reports are totally “false”, noting that the preparations for the day’s loading operations are currently underway.
