TOP SPECTRE – The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC) has issued a stern warning to individuals and groups propagating false claims about the quality of its fuel, vowing to take decisive legal action against those responsible for spreading misinformation.
In a strongly worded statement on Saturday, NNPC’s Chief Corporate Communications Officer, Olufemi Soneye, dismissed a viral video alleging that the company’s fuel “does not last,” describing the claims as baseless and lacking any scientific credibility.
The company firmly reiterated its commitment to supplying high-quality petroleum products that meet global industry standards. It assured consumers that its fuel is carefully formulated for efficiency, durability, and environmental sustainability.
NNPC further revealed that a significant portion of the Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) sold at its Lagos retail stations—where the misleading video originated—is sourced from the Dangote Refinery, which operates under strict regulatory standards to ensure top-tier fuel quality.
NNPC labeled the viral video as yet another attempt by economic saboteurs to mislead the public and tarnish the company’s reputation.
“This misleading video represents a desperate effort to spread misinformation and create unnecessary panic among Nigerians. NNPC Ltd will not tolerate deliberate attempts to undermine our operations and will take firm legal action against those responsible,” the statement read.
In a clear warning to those spreading falsehoods, the NNPC stated that all individuals or groups involved in such activities will be “held fully accountable under the law.”
The company emphasized that legal action is necessary to prevent further dissemination of inaccurate and damaging information that could mislead the public and impact national energy security.
