The Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria (PENGASSAN) has acknowledged that Port Harcourt Refining Company (PHRC) is producing petrol, diesel, kerosene, and other products.
PENGASSAN President, Comrade Festus Osifo, disclosed this during National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting yesterday in Abuja. He confirmed that the company is producing diseal and other products.
Osifo explained, “So when they blend this, it gives us PMS. But what we should be interested in, as material, is that does Port Harcourt refinery produces AGO today. The answer is yes. Does Port Harcourt refinery produce DPK today? The answer is yes. Does Port Harcourt refinery produce PMS today? The answer is yes.
“So the processes are not much of our concern. The man on the street does not understand what CTU is. The man on the street does not understand what is classified. What the man on the street understands is PMS, kerosene, and diesel. Are we getting these from Port Harcourt? The answer is yes.”
Osifo called for the privatization of refineries while insisting on the adoption of the Nigerian Liquefied Natural Gas (NLNG).
He complained about the high rate of foreign workers in oil and gas industry including the Nigerian Content Development Monitoring Board (NCDMB).
