The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC Ltd.) has raised the alarm over what it described as a coordinated sabotage campaign targeted at discrediting its leadership and derailing its ongoing transformation efforts.
In a statement issued by its management on Friday, the company alleged that a syndicate of both known and anonymous actors within and outside the organisation has been deliberately spreading lies and misinformation.
It further accused the group of planting “scandalous and fabricated reports” aimed at distracting its leadership, misleading the public, and undermining the commitment of its workforce and reform-minded Nigerians.
NNPC warned that more defamatory content may surface in the coming days but vowed not to be deterred.
“Their tactics include planting scandalous and fabricated reports, curated to distract leadership, mislead the public, and undermine the commitment of our dedicated workforce and reform-minded Nigerians.
“These are calculated efforts by those who feel threatened by reform, transparency, accountability, and change—clear evidence of the lengths to which they will go to obstruct the transformation of Nigeria’s foremost energy institution,” the statement read in parts.
The company called on its staff, stakeholders, and patriotic Nigerians to stay focused and ignore what it described as “the noise.”
