After one week of inactivity, the Port Harcourt Refining Company has resumed the trucking out of Premium Motor Spirit otherwise called petrol.
Recall that the refinery abruptly stopped the loading of petrol a fortnight ago as no reason was initially offered for the development which left many marketers stranded.
Our reporter, who visited the Port Harcourt Refinery Depot reports last Thursday, reported that the place was a shadow of itself as the loading bay was empty without any activity from the preceding week.
The Chief Corporate Communications Officer of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited, Olufemi Soneye, had in a statement said preparations for loading operation were ongoing.
But after Saturday PUNCH’s, it was gathered on Monday that the lifting of petrol commenced with 11 trucks loading PMS from the depot.
Also our reporter who visited the facility on Monday observed that activities had yet to fully commence, as there was no human nor vehicular activities until 1 pm when things started picking up.
