The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited has reacted to the fire incident said to have occurred on a tank farm that belongs to it in Lagos.
The clarification was contained in a statement by its Chief Corporate Communications Officer, Olufemi O. Soneye.
In the statement on Friday, NNPCL said the tank farm in Marine Beach, Apapa, Lagos State does not belong to it.
Rather, it said HOGL Energy Limited (Honeywell Depot) owns it and not NNPC Retail Limited as reported by early responders.

Soneye said: “The fire, which has since been extinguished, was as a result of petroleum products spillage within the perimeter of the tank farm.”
He revealed that NNPCL and other depots in the area have resumed loading activities, adding: “NNPC assures that the incident will, in no way, affect petroleum products supply and distribution across the country.”
