It is irresponsible of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) to claim that it has not imported any petrol in 2025 and even went on to malign journalists who exposed its shady dealings by accusing them of engaging in lazy reporting and unprofessional journalism.We challenge NNPCL to dispute the Motor Tanker Vessels Report of February 10, 2025 which indicated it imported 37,000 metric tonnes of petrol through the Lagos ASPM terminal on February 10 on the ship Kriti Bay, another 37,000 metric tonnes through the Lagos ASPM terminal on the ship Kouris on the same day, imported a third shipment of 28,000 metric tonnes that arrived on Hapia Andre at the PWA/BOP/NOJ Lagos terminal and a further 20,000 metric tonnes of petrol shipped by Mycroft and delivered at the Calabar Mainland terminal.It is most unfortunate that while NNPCLs Soneye was spinning his lies when the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA) confirmed that half of the nations 50 million liters per day consumption was being imported. NMDPRA clearly stated that less than 50% of this daily consumption is contributed by domestic refineries such that the shortfall is sourced by way of imports in accordance with the Petroleum Industry Act, which makes the lies by NNPCL disingenuous.What makes NNPCLs latest lies disheartening is because it has become a pattern of the corporation to constantly mislead Nigerians and the government even when the facts are glaring. The lies in this instance are about covering up the fact that the refineries the corporation claimed have started operation are not producing petrol or other refined products.The Good Governance Watch consequently demands that the NNPCL and its spokesperson stops lying to themselves thinking they are lying to Nigerians. We demand that the NNPCL and its leadership apologise to Nigerians for these lies while taking steps to sanction those behind this campaign of lies and scams, the group stated.
