NNPCL Confirms Shutdown Of Port Harcourt Refinery For Maintenance (6589 Views)

aminauiade: 1:06pm On May 24

The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited has officially announced the shutdown of the Port Harcourt Refining Company.

In a statement on Saturday, the NNPC confirmed a report by Saturday PUNCH that the facility will be shut down for a month for maintenance activities.

According to the NNPC Chief Corporate Communications Officer, Olufemi Soneye, the shutdown will commence on Saturday, May 24.

“NNPC Ltd wishes to inform the general public that the Port Harcourt Refining Company will undergo a planned maintenance shutdown.

This scheduled maintenance and sustainability assessment will commence on May 24, 2025,” he said.

Soneye added that the company is working with relevant stakeholders to ensure efficiency and transparency during the exercise.

“We are working closely with all relevant stakeholders, including the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority to ensure the maintenance and assessment activities are carried out efficiently and transparently.

“NNPC Ltd remains steadfast in its commitment to delivering sustainable energy security for Nigeria.

“Further updates will be provided regularly through our official channels, including our website, media platforms, and public statements,” he stated.

PUNCH Online reports that indigenous fuel retailers in Eleme, the community hosting the refinery, kicked against the plan to shut down the refinery, accusing some officials of sabotage.

However, Soneye debunked claims of sabotage, saying the maintenance will ensure safe and sustainable operation of the refinery.

Please be informed that the refinery remains fully operational. However, we are preparing to undertake a scheduled critical safety maintenance exercise aimed at ensuring the continued safe and sustainable operation of the facility.

This maintenance activity, which will follow global best practices, is expected to last approximately one month. To ensure uninterrupted supply during this period, we have adequate volumes of AGO, kerosene, and other products,” he said on Friday.

😆
Something that's not even functional!
Most marketers either get pms from dangote or importation!
Anyone who claims the pH refinery is functioning and giving out pms or other products are propaganda merchants or BIC😂😂

Tinubu government has been classified as the worst ever.

A government that denied its citizens everything subsidy. Nothing is subsidized to reduce the pains of Nigerian.

Imagine having everything at the tips of your finger but you can't enjoy them.

Hmmm. I thank God for helping me through

Tinubu, your days are numbered. You will also be 'former' with the worst tag.

He will beg Nigerians for forgiveness after the completion of his failure. He will claim he didn't know things were that bad before his .

The problem is we do not know which of the numerous attempts that (GENUINELY) will get this working.

Because when it comes to NNPC, public trust is negative infinity.

When you get to the NNPC and see the amount of money that can be stolen, you must be an angel to be able to resist the temptation. I dont care if your father is a pastor or your mother taught you manners. When you see the amount of money you can steal and what you can do with that money as a human being, it would take God personally touching you, NOT TO IN THE STEALING.

PROCESSES SHOULD BE CREATED SO THAT PEOPLE DONT STEAL..... AND GOVERNMENT SHOULD BE AFRAID OF THE PEOPLE AND THE CONSEQUENCES THAT THE PUBLIC WILL IMPOSE ON THE GOVERNMENT DUE TO THEIR BAD ACTIONS. FOR NOW NONE OF THESE EXIST IN THE NNPC.

One day we too shall get close to the Corridors of Authority.

God grant us the fortitude to resist the temptation to steal the commonwealth and resources of the country under pretenses and false justifications.
