The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC) has refuted reports of an explosion at the Port Harcourt Refining Company (PHRC) in Rivers State.
The company, through its Chief Corporate Communications Officer, Olufemi Soneye, clarified that what occurred was a flare incident, which has since been fully contained.
Soneye said “There is no danger or health hazard to staff, the surrounding communities, or the environment”.
The NNPC however, urged the media and the public to disregard any reports suggesting an explosion at the refinery, as they are entirely false.
