Confusion as 4 Oil Companies Named by NNPC as Liable for Imported Substandard Petrol Deny Accusation

Four of the oil companies accused by the Group Managing Director of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited, Mele Kyari, of importing substandard petrol have all in writing denied the allegation, thus creating more confusion in the drive to unmask shippers of the bad fuel.

A source told THISDAY last night that NNPC’s Duke Oil is the most likely source of the entire bad fuel and that Kyari was trying to be clever by half, by lumping it on some other DSDP contractors. As one of the beneficiaries, MRS said it received the product in its depot and distributed it to only eight of its stations in Lagos.

It maintained that its record in the oil and gas industry, which covers the entire spectrum of upstream, midstream and downstream was impeccable, saying it had remained consistent and compliant and had never fallen foul of any infraction by regulatory authorities since it commenced operation. It explained further that the quality certification and its recertification issued at the point of discharge by NMDPRA cleared all the vessels as being on-spec.

The group in a statement issued in Abuja by the Lead Consortium, Emadeb Energy Services Limited, immaturely urged NNPC to single out Brittania-U, an initial member of the coalition, which it claimed opted out of the arrangement instead of lumping everyone in the consortium together. “We are committed to working assiduously with the NNPC and industry to identify the root cause of the subsequent contamination of the PMS supplied.
