The Nigerian National Petroleum Company, NNPC, Ltd has refuted what it described as “false and misleading allegations made in a viral video circulating online,” that the company’s fuel does not last.
The Company, in a statement by its spokesperson, Mr Olufemi Soneye, stated that the claim is “baseless and entirely unfounded, originating from unverified and amateur research that lacks credibility, accuracy, and professional oversight.”
NNPC Ltd reaffirmed that its fuel is carefully formulated with one of the best compositions, ensuring optimal efficiency, durability, and environmental sustainability for consumers.
“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,” the company said.
The company warned that it not tolerate deliberate misinformation designed to undermine our operations and mislead Nigerians.
It added that “henceforth, NNPC Ltd will take firm legal action against individuals or groups who intentionally spread falsehoods about our brand and operations.
The statement warned “those engaged in such malicious activities will be held fully accountable under the law.”
The company also urged “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.”
