The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC L) has debunked allegations making the round that it sold adulterated fuel to motorists in the country.
In a statement on Thursday by Olufemi Soneye, it’s Chief Corporate Communications Officer, the Corporation said it’s attention has been drawn to the video clip of someone pouring a dark liquid which he claims to be Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) purportedly bought from an NNPC Retail outlet at Keffi Flyover. Consequently, NNPCL states that it carried out spot checks at all it’s outlets and found the claim to be false.
NNPCL further claims that, “the product was not, and could not have been bought from any NNPC Retail outlet as the company does not dispense petroleum products into bottles or jerry cans as displayed in the video.”
The statement also read in part that, “NNPC Retail Ltd does not deal in adulterated products as it adheres to rigorous standards and quality control measures at every stage in its operations to ensure that only high quality, safe, and reliable petroleum products are available at its stations nationwide.
“Members of the public should discountenance the spurious claims made in the video and be wary of selfish and unpatriotic elements pushing such narrative as they do not mean well for the country.”
NNPCL concludes that it takes pride in maintaining accurate pump integrity with regular inspection and calibration to ensure consistency across its stations nationwide.
