However, Chief Corporate Communications Officer, NNPCL, Olufemi Soneye, denied the information, adding that loading is ongoing.
In his statement, Soneye stated: “The attention of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company, NNPC, Limited has been drawn to reports in a section of the media alleging that the Old Port Harcourt Refinery, which was re-streamed two months ago has been shut down.

“Preparation for the day’s loading operation is currently ongoing.”
