In a strongly worded press release, the company described his assertions as a “crass display of ignorance” and sought to clarify the facts to prevent misinformation. ...READ THE FULL STORY FROM SOURCE ...READ THE FULL STORY FROM SOURCE
In a viral video, Mgbere claimed that the Port Harcourt Refinery’s recent restreaming and the truck-out of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) were false.
He further questioned the legitimacy of the PMS truck-out procedure and claimed that the refinery’s operations were skeletal.
NNPC Ltd, however, refuted the claims, stating they were based on a misunderstanding of the refinery’s integrated operations.
The old and new Port Harcourt refineries, which operate as a single entity with shared facilities, are included in a statement released by NNPC Ltd.’s Chief Corporate Communications Officer, Mr. Olufemi Soneye, on Friday.
The statement stated that “the old and new Port Harcourt refineries have since been integrated with a single terminal for product loading,” sharing common utilities like power and storage tanks.
The company emphasized that the loading gantry, which Mgbere attributed to the new Port Harcourt Refinery, also handles items from the previous Port Harcourt Refinery.
The business pointed out Mgbere’s assertion that the PMS loaded from the refinery was “old stock” from the previous Port Harcourt Refinery, highlighting his contentions.
If the facilities were truly separate, as Mgbere suggested, the national oil company questioned how the alleged “old stock” could be moved to the New Port Harcourt Refinery’s shared gantry.
“This is nothing but ignorance on full display”, the company remarked.
NNPC Ltd. also debunked other “wild claims” made by Mgbere, including his assertion that the refinery produces 1.4 million barrels of oil per day.
The company noted that the facility’s nameplate capacity is 60, 000 barrels of oil per day, with current operations running at 90% throughput.
This translates to 1.4 million litres of PMS (blended from Straight-Run Gasoline), in addition to diesel and kerosene.
In its statement, NNPC Ltd. also urged the public to disregard Mgbere’s claims, attributing them to either a lack of knowledge or deliberate mischief.
“The self-acclaimed ‘ community person ‘ clearly lacks understanding of the refinery’s operations”, the company said, adding that it remains committed to transparency and the efficient management of the nation’s resources. This refutation emphasizes the value of checking information before sharing it, particularly in sensitive areas like energy, where misinformation can have a significant impact.…Read -T.he.Full_Article.Here.
