Barely a month after the Port Harcourt Refinery seemingly resumed operations, the facility reportedly ceased functioning.
Naija News understands that lifting Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), popularly known as petrol or fuel, had stopped as of Thursday, December 19, 2024.
According to The PUNCH, the cessation of petrol lifting particularly occurred on Friday, December 13, as the 18-arm loading bay of the new Port Harcourt refinery was found to be vacant.
While approximately 18 trucks were observed along the busy road leading to the refinery, journalists who visited the refinery noted that nine trucks were parked within the yard, and the loading bay remained empty.
The depot, typically bustling with activity as tankers vie for space in the parking area, was notably quiet, with virtually no vehicular or human activity related to operations.
