The public’s response to the video and NNPC’s statement was swift, with many Nigerians expressing their disappointment at the situation. Some comments on social media highlighted the need for stronger measures against such practices, while others questioned the integrity of the fuel distribution system.
In related news, NNPC Limited recently secured a $3 billion loan from AfreximBank, a move aimed at strengthening the naira against the dollar and reducing petrol costs in the country. The loan is structured as an upfront cash loan against proceeds from future crude oil production and is expected to have a positive impact on the Nigerian economy.
As NNPC Limited takes steps to address the concerns raised by the viral video, the public’s vigilance and willingness to report irregularities at fuel stations are critical in ensuring the integrity of the fuel distribution system and the quality of service provided to consumers.
