The Port Harcourt Refining Company Limited will start refining crude oil and will contribute to petroleum products’ availability by the end of this month, the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation has said.
The corporation also gave an assurance that on or before the end of this week, the scarcity of Premium Motor Spirit, otherwise known as petrol, would cease across the country.
The Group Managing Director, NNPC, Dr. Joseph Dawha, said these in Abuja on Thursday after inspecting some filling stations in the city.
He said, “Presently, the refineries are undergoing rehabilitation and we are undertaking what we call a new strategy to carry out the turnaround maintenance on them. Basically, what this means is that we are carrying out phased implementation of the rehabilitation of the refineries.
