The NNPC Limited has dismissed reports alleging that it is selling scrap materials, equipment, or components from its refineries, describing such claims as false and misleading.
In a public notice issued by its Chief Corporate Communications Officer, Andy Odeh, the company stated that it has not authorised any request for bids, tenders, expressions of interest, or approvals for the sale of scrap materials or refinery assets.
NNPC Limited also raised concerns over reports of individuals impersonating its representatives or agents to fraudulently market so-called “scrap metals” and refinery equipment to unsuspecting members of the public. The company clarified that such individuals are not affiliated with it and are attempting to deceive potential buyers.

The national oil company urged the public, corporate organisations, and industry stakeholders to disregard such claims and exercise caution when approached with similar offers.
“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 emphasised.
The company further noted that any legitimate disposal of assets would be carried out through transparent processes and communicated via its official channels in line with regulatory requirements.
NNPC Limited encouraged members of the public to report suspected fraudulent activities to relevant law enforcement authorities, reiterating its commitment to transparency, accountability, and the responsible management of national energy assets.
