Port Harcourt Refinery, the most viable of the three in the country has been shut down, because of a damaged rotor, which has affected it operations, Business Day says in its reports.
This means that even the three to five million litres of petrol being produced per day by the company has been stopped, thereby making the country to be totally dependent on fuel importation.
