Nigeria's state-owned oil company, the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) Limited, has clarified that the recent fire incident at a tank farm in Marine Beach, Apapa, Lagos, does not belong to them. The fire occurred at a depot belonging to HOGL Energy Ltd. (Honeywell Depot) and not an NNPC Retail Ltd. facility. The fire was caused by petroleum products spillage within the perimeter of the tank farm [3b0cedf1].
The NNPC Ltd. has assured the public that the incident will not affect petroleum products supply and distribution across the country. The company, along with other depots in the area, has resumed loading activities. This ensures that there will be no disruption in the availability of petroleum products in Nigeria [3b0cedf1].
The fire incident at the tank farm in Lagos highlights the importance of safety measures and proper handling of petroleum products. It serves as a reminder of the potential risks associated with the oil and gas industry and the need for strict adherence to safety protocols to prevent accidents and protect lives and property. The NNPC Ltd. and other stakeholders in the industry must continue to prioritize safety and ensure that incidents like this are minimized or prevented in the future.
