PETROAN DEBUNKS VIRAL VIDEO CLAIMS THAT NNPCL PETROL MEETS HIGHEST STANDARD
THE Petroleum Products Retail Outlets Owners Association of Nigeria, PETROAN, said Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited, NNPCL’s premium motor spirit, PMS, also known as petrol meets the highest industry standards.
A video, which emerged online, weekend, had speculated that the company’s product was not of good quality.
But in a statement, yesterday, Joseph Obele, PETROAN’s spokesperson, said the association conducted a rigorous test on NNPC’s petroleum products after claims in a viral video emerged that the PMS, also known as petrol, sold by MRS Oil lasts longer than that of NNPCL.
He stated: “Our comprehensive tests include flash point, density, viscosity, sulfur content, water content, and ash content tests.
“The results of these tests are satisfactory, demonstrating that NNPCL’s petroleum products meet and exceed the required industry standards.
“Specifically, Flash point test exceeds minimum requirement, indicating low risk of ignition.
“Density test: meets prescribed density standards, ensuring optimal engine performance and fuel efficiency.
“Viscosity test falls within acceptable range, ensuring smooth engine operation and minimizing wear and tear.
“Sulfur content test meets regulatory limits, reducing risk of engine corrosion and environmental pollution.
“Water content test: well below maximum allowable limit, ensuring fuel stability and preventing engine problems.
“Ash content test: meets regulatory limits, reducing risk of engine wear and tear.
“We are confident in the quality of petroleum products supplied by NNPCL, which adheres to strict industry standards.”
Obele also asked the public to disregard fabricated content and instead rely on verified sources for accurate information.
Similarly, Billy Gillis-Harry, PETROAN president, said: “We urge content creators not to joke with sensitive matters that have the capacity to collapse the economy.
“The impact of false information on the economy cannot be overstated.”
Earlier, Olufemi Soneye, the chief corporate communications officer of NNPC Ltd,had said: “The Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Ltd strongly refutes the false and misleading allegations made in a viral video circulating online, which claims that NNPC fuel does not last.
“This assertion is baseless and entirely unfounded, originating from unverified and amateur research that lacks credibility, accuracy, and professional oversight.”
