The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) Limited has revealed that trucks are loading daily from the Port Harcourt Refinery plant.
This was disclosed by spokesperson of NNPC, Olufemi Soneye, in a statement on his official X (formerly Twitter) account on Friday, November 29.
He also stated that petroleum products from the Port Harcourt refinery are âtop quality”.
Soneye statement comes amid claim that the refinery is neither refining crude oil nor loading trucks.
He dismissed the claims, adding that there is routine loading operations, with trucks being loaded regularly.
He however did not disclose the number of trucks being loaded daily at the refinery.
Soneye said:
Controversies have been surrounding the petrol prices from the refinery, with marketers threatening to boycott it due to the cost compared to the Dangote refinery.
TimesNow.com.ng reported that the petrol from the Port Harcourt refinery sells for N1,045 compared to the N970 per litre offered by the Dangote facility.
TimesNow.com.ng previously reported that filling stations across the country are anticipated to revise pump prices downward due to a reduction in fuel landing costs.
The landing cost of freighting fuel to Nigeria fell to N935.94 per litre, and aviation fuel crashed to N1,117.48 per litre.
This is according to data by the Major Energy Marketers Association of Nigeria (MEMAN).
