The Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC), has reiterated that it does not deal in adulterated products as it adheres to rigorous standards and quality control measures.
This was contained in a statement by the NNPC’s Chief Corporate Communications Officer, Olufemi Soneye, on Thursday.
This is following a viral clip of adulterated Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) otherwise known as petrol sold in bottles and jerrycans from one of its retail outlets.
According to the statement, the report was found untrue as the company does not sell into bottles or jerrycans as displayed in the video.
“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.”
The company urged the public to dismiss the claims as they do not mean well for the country.
“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.”
