Foreign investors warned about fraudsters impersonating NNPCL officials
The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited has alerted the public to the activities of impersonators claiming to represent it.
NNPCL spokesman Olufemi Soneye disclosed in a statement on Monday that the impostors demand money under the guise of soliciting fees to arrange meetings with the oil company’s board of directors, executives, and management staff.
The statement urged foreign investors and international business entities to be cautious, clarifying that all engagements are done through NNPCL official channels or recognised business units.
“Foreign investors and international business entities are especially urged to remain cautious. If approached, report the incident to the appropriate authorities immediately.
“NNPC Limited remains committed to transparency, integrity and the protection of our stakeholders in all interactions. Let’s work together to prevent scams. Stay alert and share this notice,” said the national oil company.
