The Nigerian National Petroleum CompAany Limited (NNPC Ltd) has said that a flare incident that occurred at the Port Harcourt refinery has been contained.
The Company denied reports of an explosion at the Port Harcourt Refining Company (PHRC) in Rivers State, but said rather what happened was a flare incident, which has since been fully contained.
There is no danger or health hazard to staff, the surrounding communities, or the environment, it stated as it urged the media and the public to disregard any reports suggesting an explosion at the refinery, as they are entirely false.
