The Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Limited has denied allegations of selling scrap materials, equipment, or components from its refineries to individuals and private companies.
‎A statement titled ‘Fraudulent Claims on Sale of Refinery Scrap and Equipment’ issued by its Chief Corporate Communications Officer, Andy Odeh, described the circulating reports as misleading and false.
‎The Company wished to categorically state that the information was untrue and NNPC Limited had not issued any request for or approvals for the sale of scrap materials, refinery components, or any items from the warehouses or inventories of any of its refineries
‎It also distanced itself from persons reportedly presenting themselves as the company’s representatives or agents, claiming to facilitate the sale of so-called scrap metals or refinery equipment.
‎The Company further advised the public, corporate organisations, and industry stakeholders to disregard any such claims and to exercise caution in dealing with anyone making such representations.
