“To date, our sales of petroleum products in naira have exceeded the value of Naira-denominated crude we have received. As a result, we must temporarily adjust our sales currency to align with our crude procurement currency.”

The refinery added: “This is a malicious falsehood. Our systems are robust and we have had no fraud issues.
