The Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Limited has released a ‘Public Notice’ where it made known, it has discovered a “syndicate of known and faceless actors, both outside and within various levels of the organisation” waging coordinated sabotage campaign against the Leadership of the Company.
The NNPC Limited said, the group is vigorously “spreading lies and misinformation” with the aim to cause harm to the reputation of the NNPC Limited’s Leadership.
This was disclosed via a Public Notice titled ‘Coordinated sabotage campaign against NNPC Limited’s Leadership’, signed by the Management of the Company on Friday 27 June, 2025.
The Company also said, the Group is working towards derailing its efforts to transform the organisation into a “corruption-free” outfit.
The NNPC Limited went ahead to list their “tactics”, which it said include, “planting scandalous and fabricated reports and undermine the commitment of our dedicated workforce”.
The Public Notice reads: “The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC Ltd.) has uncovered an emerging coordinated sabotage campaign being waged by a syndicate of known and faceless actors, both outside and within various levels of the organisation.
“This group is actively spreading lies and misinformation simply to discredit NNPC Ltd.’s leadership and derail the organisation’s ongoing transformation into a corruption-free, performance-driven energy company, in line with the mandate of His Excellency, the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
“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.
“We expect a surge of defamatory content in the days and weeks ahead. NNPC Ltd. remains undeterred. The transformation is underway, and no amount of sabotage will stop it.
“We urge our dedicated staff, stakeholders, and all patriotic Nigerians to stay focused, ignore the noise and not be discouraged. We remain on mission.”
