“So, the good news for the country is we have started producing PMS from our refinery since yesterday (Sunday).

“Well, I explained how there has been a kind of a blockade from lifting our products within the country. The traders have been trying to block (it), and so now we have been exporting our petroleum products. PMS, we are ready to pump in as much as possible to the country.
