The Port Harcourt Refining Company Limited is yet to begin production of petroleum products, despite assurances from the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC, that it'll begin refining by the end of the month.

The Group General Manager, Public Affairs Division, NNPC, Mr. Ohi Alegbe, stated that crude oil was being transported to the Port Harcourt refinery through boats, and noted that the natural resource would get to the facility by the end of this week.

“Crude is being supplied to the Port Harcourt refinery, and you know we are using marine to do the supply. Before the end of the week, they will get crude in Port Harcourt,” he said.

When asked if the refining process would start once the crude oil hit the refinery this weekend, Alegbe replied, “It is a long process. However, once they start production and get the crude, I will let you know.”
