NNPCL Counters Viral Video, Denies Selling Adulterated Fuel
By Kelvin Alohan
The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC Ltd) has denied claims of selling adulterated petrol as contained in a video making the rounds.
The company which said its attention was 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, emphasised that the claim is false.
According to a statement by its Chief Corporate Communications Officer, Olufemi Soneye, the Company said, it has carried out spot checks at all its outlets and found the claim to be 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,” Soneye said.
He added that the NNPC Retail Ltd does not deal in adulterated productsas, but rather 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 further urged members of the public to 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.”
The Company maintained that it takes pride in maintaining accurate pump integrity with regular inspection and calibration to ensure consistency across its stations nationwide.
