JUST IN: We Didn’t Ask NNPCL To Sell Fuel Above Pump Price — FG

The Federal Government has dismissed viral report (not by DECENCY GLOBAL NEWS) claiming the Ministry of Petroleum ordered NNPCL to sell fuel at N1000, above the approved pump price.

A statement signed by Minister Heineken Lokpobiri’s aide, Nnemaka Okafor, described the reports as “concocted and ill-conceived” to sow discord and confusion.

Nnemaka stated:

“‘There was never a time FG interfered with petroleum pricing with NNPCL, let alone give directives for price increment.”

The government categorically condemned the claims as “baseless, malicious, and a deliberate attempt to incite public discontent.”

Key Points:

– No directive given for price increment.

– NNPCL operates independently under CAMA.

– Ministry of Petroleum Resources does not interfere in NNPCL’s internal decisions, including pricing.

The Federal Government challenged anyone with evidence supporting these claims to make it public, emphasizing:

“We challenge anyone in possession of any evidence… to make it public.”

This clarification aims to alleviate public concerns and maintain transparency in Nigeria’s petroleum sector.
