NNPC Refutes Claims on Port Harcourt Refinery Operations: Setting the Record Straight
The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC Ltd) has dismissed allegations made by Timothy Mgbere, Secretary of the Alesa Community Stakeholders, concerning the recent resumption of operations at the Port Harcourt Refinery.
Mgbere, during an interview on Arise Television on Thursday, alleged that the refinery’s truck-out operations involved petroleum products from old stock rather than newly refined products. He further insinuated that the refinery’s activities were misleading and lacking transparency.
In response, NNPC Ltd, through its Spokesperson Olufemi Soneye, issued a statement on Friday describing Mgbere’s assertions as a “crass display of ignorance” and providing detailed clarifications to dispel the misinformation.
