The Group Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Mele Kyari, disclosed this on Wednesday in Lagos during the commissioning of the Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers (NUPENG) Tower.
Human rights advocate and attorney Mr. Femi Falana, and anyone else who might be unsure, was invited by Kyari to join the NNPC Ltd. on a tour of the refineries in Port Harcourt, Warri, and Kaduna to confirm their status.
He also clarified the debate surrounding product blending by asserting that it is an essential step in the refining process and therefore not a crime.
“Your vehicles will be destroyed by off-spec products that you bring out if you do not blend.
He also clarified the controversy surrounding product blending by claiming that it is not a crime because it is a necessary step in the refining process.
“To bring products to the specifications of different countries or regions,” he explained, “blending is required.”
Kyari congratulated NUPENG for the NUPENG Towers and urged the union to keep putting communication and cooperation first in its dealings with the Federal Government and NNPC Ltd.
He revealed that following the President’s Executive Order Interventions, there would be more investments and the job opportunities in the oil and gas sector.
