…Says Normalcy Restored
The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited has clarified that the fire incident at a tank farm in Marine Beach, Apapa, Lagos, was at a Depot belonging to HOGL Energy Ltd. (Honeywell Depot) and not an NNPC Retail Ltd. facility, as circulated by early responders.
According to a press release on Friday, 17th May 2024 signed by the Chief Corporate Communications Officer, NNPC Ltd, Abuja, Olufemi Soneye, said that the fire, which has since been extinguished, was as a result of petroleum products spillage within the perimeter of the tank farm.
Meanwhile, NNPC Ltd. and other Depots in the area have resumed loading activities.
NNPC assured that the incident will, in no way, affect petroleum products supply and distribution across the country.
