The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC Ltd) says it 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 retail stations nationwide.

The Company said this while refuting claims that fake and substandard petrol was being sold at one of its retail stations in Keffi, Nasarawa state, north central Nigeria.

In a statement issued by Olufemi Soneye, the Chief Corporate Communications Officer NNPCL, the company said “it’s attention has been drawn to a video clip of someone pouring a dark liquid which he claims to be Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) purportedly bought from the company’s retail outlet at Keffi Flyover, Nasarawa state.”

 

Soneye said the company has carried out spot checks at all the outlets and found this claim to be false, urging members of the public to disregard the claims made in the video and be wary of elements pushing such narrative.

 

“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,” the company’s spokesman stressed.

According to Soneye, “NNPCL takes pride in maintaining accurate pump integrity with regular inspection and calibration to ensure consistency across our stations nationwide.”
