*Says normalcy restored

The Nigerian National Petroleum Company, NNPC has clarified that the fire incident at a tank farm in Marine Beach Apapa Lagos was at a depot belonging to HOGL Energy Limited (Honeywell Depot) and not an NNPC Retail Ltd’s facility as circulated by early responders.

The NNPC, in a statement by its Chief Corporate Communications Officer, Mr Olufemi O Soneye said, “the fire, which has since been extinguished was as a result of petroleum products spillage within the perimeter of the tank farm.” The statement added that “NNPC Ltd and other depots in the area have resumed loading activities. NNPC assures that the incident will in no way affect petroleum products supply and distribution across the country”.
