On Thursday, the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) declared that it was making every effort to end the fuel shortage.
According to Executive Vice President Adedapo Segun of the downstream division, NNPCL is willing to include all parties involved in the oil industry in order to put an end to the fuel shortage.
Adedapo stated on the Arise TV Morning Show that IPMAN will continue to purchase petroleum from the Dangote refinery despite opposition from the Nigerian government.
He said:
TimesNow.com.ng reported that the NNPCL was not given an order to raise the price of petroleum to N1,000, the federal government said.
The special advisor for media and communication, Nnemaka Okafor, released a statement on Tuesday, September 3, on behalf of Sen. Heineken Lokpobiri, minister of state petroleum resources (oil), stating that he did not provide instructions to NNPC Ltd. or any other company in the industry to manipulate prices.
The federal government has been compelled to address the outright falsehood and malicious claims currently circulating on social media. We categorically condemn these claims as baseless, malicious, and a deliberate attempt to incite public discontent.
