The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited has raised the alarm, alleging that some individuals are dropping its helmsmen’ names in bids to swindle unsuspecting investors.
NNPC made this known by a statement its spokesman, Olufemi Soneye released in which the organisation distanced itself from dirty business allegedly perpetrated by some unscrupulous elements under the guise of facilitating meetings between investors and its helmsmen.
“The general public is advised to beware of individuals and companies falsely claiming to represent NNPC Limited. Their tactics include soliciting fees for meetings with the NNPC board of directors, executives, and management staff. These actions are unauthorised and illegal.
“Foreign investors and international business entities are especially urged to remain cautious. If approached, report the incident to the appropriate authorities immediately,” the statement read in part.
