Clarification Needed: Port Harcourt Refinery's Operations

The recent announcement by the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) regarding petrol production at the Port Harcourt refinery has sparked controversy.

Allegations suggest that the facility is blending imported products rather than refining crude oil.

Reports indicate that the refinery is blending "Crack C5" with Naphtha, raising concerns about the refinery's capabilities.

NNPCL officials have denied these allegations, stating that the refinery is producing Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) at 70% of its capacity.

However, critics argue that without the necessary secondary units, the facility cannot genuinely produce petrol from crude oil. The conflicting reports have led to public outrage and skepticism about the government's transparency.

We call on the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA) to intervene and provide clarification on the matter. Transparency and accountability are essential in the oil sector, and we must ensure that the refinery's operations are legitimate and effective.

Let's work together to promote transparency and accountability in Nigeria's oil sector.
