NNPC Limited has dismissed reports suggesting it is selling refinery scrap materials and equipment, describing the claims as false and misleading.
In a public notice issued on April 24, the national oil company said it had not authorised any request for bids, tenders, or expressions of interest for the sale of scrap metals, refinery components, or equipment from any of its facilities.
The company disclosed that it had received reports of individuals falsely posing as its representatives or agents, claiming to facilitate such sales. It warned that these actors are not authorised and are attempting to defraud unsuspecting members of the public.
NNPC advised individuals, corporate organisations, and industry stakeholders to disregard any such solicitations and to exercise caution when dealing with persons making these claims.
“For the avoidance of doubt, NNPC Limited is not conducting, nor has it authorised, any sale of scrap metals, equipment, or refinery components from any of its facilities,” the statement read.
The company emphasised that any legitimate disposal of assets would be carried out through transparent and established processes, and communicated through its official channels in line with regulatory requirements.
It further urged members of the public to report any suspicious approaches or fraudulent activities to relevant law enforcement authorities.
NNPC reaffirmed its commitment to transparency, accountability, and the responsible management of national energy assets.
