The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited has denied claims of selling adulterated petroleum products at its retail outlets.
The company made this clarification in a statement issued by its Chief Corporate Communications Officer, Olufemi Soneye, on Thursday.
Soneye’s statement was in response to a video in which a man alleged that a dark liquid in a jerrycan was purchased from an NNPC retail outlet in Keffi.
Soneye described the allegation as false, stressing that the NNPC does not sell fuel in jerrycans.
“The attention of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited has been drawn to the video clip of someone pouring a dark liquid that he claims to be Premium Motor Spirit, which was purportedly bought from an NNPC retail outlet at Keffi Flyover. We wish to state that we have carried out spot checks at all our outlets and found this claim to be false,” Soneye said.
“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 jerrycans, as shown in the video.”
He further stated, “NNPC retail 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.”
The NNPC spokesperson urged the public to disregard what he termed the “spurious claims” made in the video and to be cautious of selfish and unpatriotic elements who promote such narratives, which he said do not serve the best interests of the country.
“We take pride in maintaining accurate pump integrity through regular inspection and calibration to ensure consistency across our stations nationwide,” he added.
