The Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Limited has officially announced the temporary shutdown of the Port Harcourt Refinery to allow for scheduled maintenance operations. According to a statement released by the company, the shutdown is part of ongoing efforts to enhance the refinery’s efficiency and ensure optimal performance once full operations resume.
NNPC clarified that the maintenance is a routine procedure necessary to align the refinery with international safety and operational standards. The company assured the public that all critical systems would be inspected and upgraded where needed, and that the exercise is expected to be completed within the stipulated timeline without significant delays.
Despite the shutdown, NNPC emphasized that fuel supply and distribution across the country will not be disrupted. Strategic reserves and alternative importation plans are in place to cushion any potential impact on the domestic market. The company urged Nigerians to remain calm and avoid panic buying, as normal operations are projected to resume shortly after the maintenance exercise is concluded.
