The Nigeria National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) has said the video of dark petrol in bottles and jerrycans, reportedly bought at one of its filling stations in Keffi, Nasarawa State, was false.
The Chief Corporate Communications Officer of NNPCL, Olufemi Soneye, said its investigation showed that the petrol was not bought from any of its filling stations.
Soneye maintained that NNPCL does not sell adulterated products, as it adheres to rigorous standards and quality control measures at every stage of its operations.
In a statement on Thursday, Soneye said, “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:
“That we have carried out spot checks at all our outlets and found this 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.
“That NNPC Retail Ltd. 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 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.
“That we take pride in maintaining accurate pump integrity with regular inspection and calibration to ensure consistency across our stations nationwide.”
