“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,” Soneye said.
