The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) said on Friday the Port Harcourt Refining Company (PHRC) has not commenced bulk sales of fuel or opened its purchase portal.
The company’s Chief Corporate Communications Officer, Olufemi Soneye, disclosed this in a statement in Abuja.
He said the company would make official announcements when price reviews on the products occur.
He added that products being sold by the refinery came from the Dangote Refinery.
The 60,000 barrels per day (bpd) capacity refinery began truck-out of petroleum products on Tuesday in Port Harcourt following its rehabilitation.
Some petroleum marketers and Nigerians have raised concerns about product pricing by the refinery.
The Petroleum Products Retail Outlet Owners Association of Nigeria (PETROAN) also confirmed that the refinery had not released any new price for products purchased.
The association said that it bought petrol with the old pricing template while awaiting the new prices.
