    Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC) has warned local investors and foreign businesses about the activities of fraudsters falsely claiming to represent the company.

    In a statement signed on Monday by Olufemi Soneye, chief corporate communications officer, NNPC, t said the practice of soliciting fees is completely unauthorised and unlawful.

    NNPCL said, “The general public is advised to beware of individuals and companies falsely claiming to represent NNPC Limited.

    ” Their tactics include soliciting fees for meetings with the NNPC board of directors, executives, and management staff. These actions are unauthorised and illegal.

    “Foreign investors and international business entities are especially urged to remain cautious. If approached, report the incident to the appropriate authorities immediately.”

    The company clarified that engagements with its boards or executives must follow official channels in line with company policy.

    The oil giant said, “All legitimate engagements with NNPC Limited occur strictly through official channels or business units only.

    “For further enquiries, please contact us at [email protected].

    “NNPC Limited remains committed to transparency, integrity, and the protection of our stakeholders in all interactions.”
