Port Harcourt: Group accuses NNPCL of lack of transparency

Published by

A civil society organisation, National Transparency Watch, has accused the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) of lacking transparency in its recent export of petroleum products from the Port Harcourt Refinery to a Dubai-based company, Gulf Transport & Trading Limited (GTT).

The group expressed disappointment that NNPCL has not provided adequate information about the export, despite admitting to it 72 hours prior.

They questioned NNPCL’s choice of GTT, citing concerns about the company’s involvement in previous infractions.

National Transparency Watch challenged NNPCL to provide evidence that GTT is not connected to its alleged scam enterprise.

They also demanded that NNPCL convince Nigerians that the exported products are not meant to be swapped with off-spec fuel from Eastern Europe.

“NNPCL’s choice of GTT rings alarm bells considering that this same entity had featured prominently in all of the corporation’s infractions, especially in its dabbling into contaminated and sanction-tainted Russian oil.

“Consequently, we challenge NNPCL to disprove that GTT is not connected with its scam enterprise of bringing blended Nigerian products affiliated with sanctioned products into Nigeria.

“The corporation should convince Nigerians that the products it claimed to have traded from Nigeria are not meant to be swapped with off-spec fuel from Eastern Europe, which reports have confirmed are still being imported even though NNPCL is bizarrely exporting low sulfur straight run fuel oil, which could have been further processed to meet domestic demand.

“We further challenge NNPCL to deny that its off-taker, GTT is not one of the companies that Adisu Aliyu set up in Dubai Multi Commodities Centre (DMCC) alongside another company, Polypro Trading and that Adisu Aliyu is not fronting for NNPCL CEO, Mele Kyari, for whom he runs the two companies,” the group said.
