- Kyari asserted that claim by detractors that NNPC imported 200 million litres of fuel in the last days of February 2025 is blatant lie.
The Nigerian National Petroleum Company, NNPC, has described as false claims that Premium Motor Spirit, PMS, bought from it retail outlets are bad.
This is even as the company stated that it has not imported a litre of PMS since the beginning of 2025.
The Group Chief Executive Officer of the NNPC made this known while speaking at the 60th Nigeria Mining and Geosciences Society, NMGS Conference in Abuja on Tuesday.
Kyari asserted that claim by detractors that NNPC imported 200 million litres of fuel in the last days of February 2025 is blatant lie.
In a statement by NNPC spokesperson Olufemi Soneye, Kyari was quoted as saying that there are no quality issues with PMS across the country.
“The talk around fuel quality is unfortunate and a very bad marketing practice. It’s all drama and entertainment, and as we know, drama has a way of entertaining the people,” Kyari stated.
“I believe these regulatory agencies are doing their job. They have not come back to tell anyone that we have substandard products in the country,” he added.
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’s reputation.
He noted that the consequences of such acts go beyond NNPCL, warning that they damage the entire nation.
While acknowledging that people may have their concerns and frustrations, Kyari cautioned that falsehoods should not be extended into business.
“These are just lies because we didn’t 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,” he stated.
Regarding a viral video claiming that NNPC fuel is substandard compared to Dangote petrol, Kyari dismissed it as “unfortunate drama and bad marketing practice.”
