The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL), continue to import refined petrol despite the reported operational resumption of its local refineries, it was learnt.
Recall that the NNPCL recently announced that the Warri Refining & Petrochemicals Company (WRPC), with a refining capacity of 125,000 barrels per day, is now functional.
Also recall that in December 2024, the Port Harcourt Refinery resumed full operations after a temporary scale-down.
However, despite this development, a confidential report exclusively obtained by Nairametrics from a reliable source tracking motor tanker vessel movement disclosed that the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) imported 159,000 metric tons of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) between February 1 and February 12, 2025. {Nairametrics}
