PENGASSAN OPPOSES IPMAN ON SALE OF REFINERIES


The Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria has opposed the sale of the Nation’s refineries as suggested by the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria.

The National Public Relations Officer, PENGASSAN, Emmanuel Ojugbana, said in a statement on Sunday that the suggestion was a fraudulent way of stripping the country of its national assets. 

He noted that the proof that the refineries were functional and profitable was revealed in the net profit of N11.2bn made by the Port Harcourt Refining Company in December 2014, which exceeded the November 2014 results by N8.2bn or 250 per cent.

He added that the improved financial performance was attributed to the phased rehabilitation programme embarked upon by the workers.

The union PRO lauded the efforts of the government in ensuring that the four state-owned refineries were back on stream.
