NNPCL urged stakeholders to remain vigilant and report any suspicious approaches to the appropriate authorities immediately. “The general public is advised to beware of individuals and companies falsely claiming to represent NNPC Limited,” Soneye stated, adding that the company remains committed to transparency, integrity, and protecting its stakeholders.


The public was encouraged to stay alert and share the notice to help prevent scams targeting unsuspecting investors and businesses.
