This is coming following claims by some top refinery officials that the refinery was in talks with Libya for crude supply. But in a statement shared on its X handle on Sunday, the Libyan oil corporation denied negotiating or entering into talks regarding the crude oil supply to any Nigerian refinery. The statement, written in Arabic, translates: “The National Oil Corporation denies that it has negotiated or entered into any talks regarding the supply of crude oil to an oil refinery in Nigeria. Recently, officials of the refinery accused International Oil Companies of frustrating the refinery by refusing to supply crude or selling at a premium.
