The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited states that it has uncovered an emerging coordinated sabotage campaign waged by a syndicate of known and faceless actors, both within and outside the organisation.
A statement released on Friday by NNPCL stated that the group was actively spreading lies and misinformation to discredit the company’s leadership.
NNPCL stated that the group was disseminating such misinformation to undermine the organisation’s ongoing transformation into a corruption-free, performance-driven energy company, in line with the president’s mandate.
“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,” said the national oil company.
It added, “We expect a surge of defamatory content in the days and weeks ahead, but NNPC Ltd. remains undeterred. The transformation is underway, and no amount of sabotage will stop it.”
