The Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria, PENGASSAN, has confirmed that the Port Harcourt Refinery is functional.
Recall there were claims last week that the refinery had shut down just a few days after its much-celebrated commencement of production.
But many oil experts have come out to speak on the status of the refinery.
Similarly, President of PENGASSAN, Comrade Festus Osifo, said the refinery has indeed commenced operation in full force.
Osifo, in an interview with newsmen last night however, gave a few limitations in the production processes.
He was also quick to say that the blending process was normal globally, as no refinery can produce with a single Crude Distillation Unit (CDU).
He also said Nigerians have every reason to doubt and question the government, considering what they had suffered at the hands of past governments.
