Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Group Chief Executive Officer of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company, NNPC, has clarified that the company has not imported a single litre of Premium Motor Spirit, PMS, since the beginning of 2025.<\/p>\n

In a statement on Tuesday, NNPC spokesperson Olufemi Soneye conveyed Kyari\u2019s remarks at the 60th Nigeria Mining and Geosciences Society, NMGS Conference in Abuja.<\/p>\n

According to Kyari, the claim by detractors that NNPC imported 200 million litres of fuel in the last days of February 2025 is entirely false.<\/p>\n

He also noted that there are no quality issues with PMS across the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe talk around fuel quality is unfortunate and a very bad marketing practice. It\u2019s all drama and entertainment, and as we know, drama has a way of entertaining the people,\u201d Kyari stated.<\/p>\n

\u201cI believe these regulatory agencies are doing their job. They have not come back to tell anyone that we have substandard products in the country,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Kyari stressed that the company has taken legal and security measures to ensure that those responsible for spreading such misinformation do not tarnish the country\u2019s reputation.<\/p>\n

He noted that the implications of such acts go beyond NNPCL, warning that they damage the entire nation.<\/p>\n

While acknowledging that people may have their frustrations, Kyari cautioned that falsehoods should not be extended into business.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese are just lies because we didn\u2019t even import products within the timeframe mentioned in that report. All the mischief about aligning this fictitious importation with the so-called low-quality fuel is baseless,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n

Regarding a viral video claiming that NNPC fuel is substandard compared to Dangote petrol, Kyari dismissed it as \u201cunfortunate drama and bad marketing practice.\u201d<\/p>\n
