NNPC Raises Alarm Over Alleged Plot by Syndîcate Targeting Leadership and Reform Efforts

The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC Ltd.) has raised alarm over what it described as a coordinated sabotage campaign orchestrated by a network of individuals both within and outside the organisation.

In a statement on Friday, NNPC Ltd. revealed that the group, comprising both known and faceless actors, is allegedly spreading falsehoods and misinformation aimed at discrediting the company’s leadership and undermining its ongoing reform agenda.

According to the company, the syndicate is behind a wave of fabricated and scandalous reports designed to mislead the public, distract leadership, and derail efforts to transform NNPC Ltd. into a corruption-free, performance-driven energy institution in line with President Bola Tinubu’s mandate.

NNPC Ltd. warned of an expected rise in defamatory publications in the coming weeks but assured that the organisation remains focused and resolute.

The statement reads:

“The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC Ltd.) has uncovered an emerging coordinated sabotage campaign being waged by a syndicate of known and faceless actors, both outside and within various levels of the organisation.

“This group is actively spreading lies and misinformation simply to discredit NNPC Ltd.’s leadership and derail the organisation’s ongoing transformation into a corruption-free, performance-driven energy company, in line with the mandate of His Excellency, the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

“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.

“We expect a surge of defamatory content in the days and weeks ahead. NNPC Ltd. remains undeterred. The transformation is underway, and no amount of sabotage will stop it.

“We urge our dedicated staff, stakeholders, and all patriotic Nigerians to stay focused, ignore the noise and not be discouraged. We remain on mission.” [CONTINUE READING HERE]>>>>
