NNPCL Has Not Imported Petrol In 2025 — Kyari

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.

In a statement on Tuesday, NNPC spokesperson Olufemi Soneye conveyed Kyari’s remarks at the 60th Nigeria Mining and Geosciences Society, NMGS Conference in Abuja.

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.

He also noted 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 implications of such acts go beyond NNPCL, warning that they damage the entire nation.

While acknowledging that people may have their 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.”
