NNPCL Disclaims Video Of Adulterated Fuel Sold In Bottles, Jerrycans

Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC Ltd) has disassociated itself from a video clip showing someone pouring a dark liquid he claims to be Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), purportedly bought from an NNPC Retail outlet at Keffi Flyover in Nasasrawa State.

Olufemi Soneye, the Chief Corporate Communications Officer of NNPC Limited, said this in a statement issued in Abuja on Thursday. The company conducted spot checks at all its outlets and found the claim false.

“The attention of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC Ltd) 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, and wishes to state as follows:
“We have conducted spot checks at all our outlets and found this claim false. 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 displayed in the video.

“NNPC Retail Ltd does not deal with adulterated products as it adheres to rigorous standards and quality control measures at every stage of its operations to ensure that only high-quality, safe, and reliable petroleum products are available at its stations nationwide.

“That 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.
“We take pride in maintaining accurate pump integrity with regular inspection and calibration to ensure consistency across our stations nationwide,” the statement read.
