The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC Ltd) has alleged it has uncovered an emerging coordinated campaign being waged by a syndicate of known and faceless actors, both outside and within various levels of the organisation against its leadership.

A statement on Friday by the management of the company said the group was actively spreading lies and misinformation simply to discredit NNPC leadership and derail the organisation’s ongoing transformation into a corruption-free, performance-driven energy company, in line with the mandate of President Bola Tinubu.
  
“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.”
