NNPC LTD DISCLAIMS ASSERTION OF SELF-ACCLAIMED ‘COMMUNITY PERSON’ ON THE STATE OF PORTHARCOURT REFINERY…SAYS CLAIMS ARE CRASS DISPLAY OF IGNORANCE

Energy

By PR The attention of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC Ltd) has been drawn to a video clip of one Timothy Mgbere, a self-acclaimed “community person” who alleged that the much publicised restreaming of the Port Harcourt and truck-out of Premium Motor Spirit (petrol) which held earlier in the week were all false.
