 NNPC Refutes Claims of Importing 200 Million Litres of Petrol


The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) has denied reports that it recently imported 200 million litres of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS).


In a statement issued on Tuesday by its Chief Corporate Communications Officer, Olufemi Soneye, the company clarified that it has not imported any petrol in 2025.


Soneye dismissed the report as either “lazy and unprofessional journalism” or a “deliberate attempt by economic saboteurs to mislead the public.” He emphasized that NNPCL does not control private marketers’ import activities and described attributing all fuel imports to the company as misleading.


While reiterating that NNPCL has not imported petrol this year, the company stated that it retains the right to do so if necessary to ensure energy security.


NNPCL also condemned the spread of misinformation and warned that it would take legal action against those responsible for spreading false reports.
