NNPC Denies Claims of Selling Scrap from Refineries

The Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) has issued a statement denying claims that it is selling scrap materials and equipment from its refineries. The company described these reports as false and misleading, asserting that it has not issued any requests for bids or tenders related to the disposal of scrap materials from its facilities.

NNPC stressed that there has been no sale conducted of its warehouse inventory and advised the public to disregard any information suggesting otherwise. The company also warned that certain individuals have falsely presented themselves as representatives of NNPC, claiming to facilitate the sale of scrap metal and refinery equipment.

NNPC urged the public and industry stakeholders to exercise caution and avoid engaging with anyone making such claims. This denial comes amid ongoing challenges with the company's refineries, which have not shown tangible progress despite repeated promises for improvement.
