In a statement signed by the Special Adviser, Media and Communication, to the Minister for Petroleum Resources (Oil), Heineken Lokpobiri, the FG declared that the report was concocted and ill-conceived to sow discord and confusion in the oil industry.
The report claimed that Lokpobiri gave the NNPCL the directive.
However, the minister stressed that the Federal Government had never interfered with petroleum pricing with NNPCL.
