The Nigeria National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC Ltd) has responded to a viral video on social media, specifically on X (formerly Twitter), where a fuel attendant at one of its filling stations allegedly demanded customers to purchase lubricant or engine oil before dispensing fuel into their vehicles.

The statement emphasized that at all NNPC Retail filling stations, customers are not required to buy lubricants, engine oil, or any other products as a precondition for purchasing Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), commonly known as petrol.
