NNPC says video claiming Dangote refinery’s petrol lasts longer “misleading;” vows to take legal action

The Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Limited has dismissed claims made by a Nigerian man in a viral video that the premium motor spirit (PMS) sourced from Dangote refinery and sold by MRS Oil lasts 13 minutes longer than that sold at NNPC fuel stations,

In a statement released on Saturday, February 15, NNPC’s Chief Corporate Communications Officer, Olufemi Soneye, said the assertion is misleading, false, baseless and entirely unfounded and that NNPC will take legal action against anyone who makes such claims again.

He explained that the claim originates from unverified and amateur research, which lacks credibility, accuracy, and professional oversight.

A video making the rounds on social media showed a Nigerian man using two small tiger generator, popularly known as ‘I better pass my neighbour generator’ in Nigeria,’ to compare the running time of petrol he sourced from MRS and NNPC fuel stations.

In the video, the man claimed Dangote-refined petrol sold by MRS Oil lasts longer than the PMS available at NNPC stations and, in addition, more affordable.

“MRS petrol stations have a partnership with Dangote Refinery, meaning you can buy locally refined fuel from them. I went to their station at Alakpere, Lagos, and I got 1 litre for N925. For the comparison, I also bought fuel from NNPC in Ojojubega, Lagos, and it cost N945 per litre. That’s N20 more than the MRS fuel. Now, looking at both fuels, the Dangote fuel looks a little bit darker.

For these small generators, you have to mix the fuel with engine oil before use, so I did exactly that for both of them. I filled both generators with the same quantity of fuel, turned them on, and set a timer.

And after 17 minutes and 51 seconds, the generator running on NNPC fuel died first. Meanwhile, the generator using MRS fuel kept running for 30 minutes.

That’s a 13-minute difference, a big deal, especially when it’s cheaper. So yeah, it looks like the Dangote-refined fuel actually lasts longer than the fuel you get from at least NNPC, and again, it is cheaper.”

Dismissing the man’s claim, Soneye in the statement released, emphasized that NNPC carefully formulates its petrol with one of the best compositions to ensure optimal efficiency, durability, and environmental sustainability for consumers.

“Furthermore, it is important to emphasize that a significant percentage of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) sold at NNPC retail stations in Lagos—where this deceptive video was created—is sourced from the Dangote Refinery, a strategic partner in promoting local production and energy security.

Dangote Refinery adheres to strict industry standards, guaranteeing the quality of petroleum products supplied to our consumers.

This misleading video represents yet another desperate attempt by economic saboteurs to misinform the public and tarnish NNPC Ltd’s reputation.

We will not tolerate deliberate misinformation designed to undermine our operations and mislead Nigerians. Henceforth, NNPC Ltd will take firm legal action against individuals or groups who intentionally spread falsehoods about our brand and operations. Those engaged in such malicious activities will be held fully accountable under the law.”
