NNPC denies importing adulterated fuel, rejects blame for price hike

 

The Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Limited has firmly stated it does not import adulterated fuel and is not responsible for the recent hike in fuel prices.

 

Responding to demands for Group Chief Executive Officer Malam Mele Kyari’s resignation over rising fuel prices, NNPC’s Chief Corporate Communications Officer, Olufemi Soneye, clarified on Tuesday that protesters were misinformed about the causes of fuel price increases and the quality of fuel distributed by NNPC.

 

According to NAN, civil society organisations stormed NNPC headquarters in Abuja to protest the hike in petrol price.

 

“If they were informed, they would know that the GCEO is not responsible for the fuel price increase,” Soneye remarked.

 

“In fact, the GCEO ensured that Nigerians had access to fuel at N620 per litre for over a year, even when the landing cost was above N1,100.”

 

Soneye also addressed accusations of adulterated fuel imports, stating, “The NNPC Ltd. does not import adulterated fuel. If anyone has evidence to the contrary, they should bring forward samples of any such fuel imported by NNPC Ltd.”

He assured that NNPC is focused on achieving national energy security and will not be distracted by protests, reaffirming NNPC’s commitment to implementing President Bola Tinubu’s energy roadmap for Nigeria.
