The Federal Government of Nigeria has refuted a recent report claiming that the Ministry of Petroleum Resources instructed the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) to sell fuel at N1,000 above the approved pump price.
The report alleged that the directive came from the Minister for Petroleum Resources (Oil), Heineken Lokpobiri.

In a statement released on Tuesday by Nnemaka Okafor, the Special Adviser on Media and Communication to Lokpobiri, the government dismissed the report as fabricated and misleading, designed to create unrest and confusion within the oil industry.
The statement emphasized that at no point did the Federal Government interfere with petroleum pricing at NNPCL, nor did it issue any directive to increase fuel prices.
