The Petroleum Products Retail Outlet Owners Association of Nigeria says its members are now loading petroleum products from the Port Harcourt and Warri refineries.
PETROAN said this is contrary to previous doubts that the refineries owned by the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited were not fully operational.
PETROAN’s spokesman, Joseph Obele, disclosed this in a statement on Saturday, saying, “PETROAN members are now loading petroleum products, including Dual-Purpose Kerosene, Automotive Gas Oil, and Premium Motor Spirits.”
Obele told our correspondent that the Port Harcourt refinery is already selling petrol, diesel and kerosene to retailers while the Warri refinery is supplying only diesel and kerosene.
