Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) has clarified that the news making the rounds about explosion at the Port Harcourt Refinery was just a flare.
The company issued a statement on Wednesday that was signed by the Head of Corporate Communications, Mr. Olufemi Soneye, and explained that what occurred was a flare incident, which had since been fully contained.
“There is no danger or health hazard to staff [members], the surrounding communities, or the environment.
“NNPC Ltd. urges the media and the public to disregard any reports suggesting an explosion at the refinery, as they are entirely false,” Soneye said.
