The statement which was signed by the NNPC, Group Communications Officer, Olufemi Soneye read,
“NNPC Ltd emphasises it has not clashed with any party. The Punch headline is deemed unfortunate.
“The publication sought confirmation on the alleged subsidy reduction, to which NNPC responded that the subsidy has been entirely removed.”
Due to the Wednesday report in circulations, Nigerians already began to panic and many are still wondering how life would turn if it goes as reported earlier.
” A resident of Nasarawa, Maxwell Stephen said ” Me I have to think of leaving this country anyhow to avoid dying here. I already know how hard life had become for me recently, another fuel pump hike would just deflate the small hope remaining in me”.
