With the AfCFTA at the forefront of the agenda, Nigeria is poised to play a leading role in shaping Africa’s economic future.
Our fuel formulated with best compositions, offers environmental sustainability for consumers – NNPCL
By Onu Okorie
The Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Ltd has reaffirmed that its fuel is carefully formulated with one of the best compositions, ensuring optimal efficiency, durability, and environmental sustainability for consumers.
This was contained in a statement issued during the weekend by the Chief Corporate Communications Officer
NNPC Ltd Olufemi O. Soneye in reaction to allegations made in a viral video circulating online, which claims that NNPC fuel does not last.
According to NNPCL “This assertion is baseless and entirely unfounded, originating from unverified and amateur research that lacks credibility, accuracy, and professional oversight.”
“Furthermore, it is important to emphasize that a significant percentage of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) sold at NNPC retail stations in Lagos—where this deceptive video was created—is sourced from the Dangote Refinery, a strategic partner in promoting local production and energy security. Dangote Refinery adheres to strict industry standards, guaranteeing the quality of petroleum products supplied to our consumers.”
“This misleading video represents yet another desperate attempt by economic saboteurs to misinform the public and tarnish NNPC Ltd’s reputation. We will not tolerate deliberate misinformation designed to undermine our operations and mislead Nigerians.”
“Henceforth, NNPC Ltd will take firm legal action against individuals or groups who intentionally spread falsehoods about our brand and operations. Those engaged in such malicious activities will be held fully accountable under the law.”
“We urge the public to disregard such fabricated content and rely on verified sources for accurate information. NNPC Ltd remains steadfast in its mission to ensure fuel availability, affordability, and quality for all Nigerians while maintaining global industry standards.”
