‘Misleading’ NNPCL debunks claims fuel doesn’t last

The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) has debunked claims that the fuel dispensed at its retail outlets does not last.

The NNPCL Chief Corporate Communications Officer, Olufemi Soneye, made this known via a statement on Saturday, February 15, 2025.

Soneye was reacting to a viral video condemning the NNPCL’s fuel in Lagos.

Soneye described the allegations as “false and misleading”, saying the assertion that the NNPCL’s fuel does not last “is baseless and entirely unfounded, originating from unverified and amateur research that lacks credibility, accuracy, and professional oversight.”

The NNPCL spokesperson stressed that the company’s fuel is formulated with one of the best compositions, ensuring optimal efficiency, durability, and environmental sustainability for consumers.

Soneye stated: “Furthermore, it is important to emphasize that a significant percentage of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) sold at NNPC retail stations in Lagos – where this deceptive video was created – is sourced from the Dangote Refinery, a strategic partner in promoting local production and energy security.

“Dangote Refinery adheres to strict industry standards, guaranteeing the quality of petroleum products supplied to our consumers.

“This misleading video represents yet another desperate attempt by economic saboteurs to misinform the public and tarnish NNPC Ltd’s reputation. We will not tolerate deliberate misinformation designed to undermine our operations and mislead Nigerians.

“Henceforth, NNPC Ltd will take firm legal action against individuals or groups who intentionally spread falsehoods about our brand and operations. Those engaged in such malicious activities will be held fully accountable under the law.

“We urge the public to disregard such fabricated content and rely on verified sources for accurate information.

“NNPC Ltd remains steadfast in its mission to ensure fuel availability, affordability, and quality for all Nigerians while maintaining global industry standards.”
