In response to the growing controversy, the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) stepped in to address the matter. According to the NNPC, the claims about Dangote Refinery fuel having superior longevity are unfounded. They emphasized that their fuel meets premium standards and that consumers should not be swayed by unverified information.
However, the public remains divided. Some users expressed skepticism about the experimental results showing that even an old, single-stroke engine could not consume 1 liter of fuel in 30 minutes. Others questioned the reliability of such tests and the motives behind spreading this information.
Here are some reactions from social media:
- @Leacomzy: “This result of this experiment isn’t true, even an old and rickety single stroke engine will not burn up 1 litre of fuel in 30 minutes.”
- @jaey_money: “Illiteracy be messing this guy up! Settlement wey no for pass 1m he think say gara gara go solve am.”
- @effedeborah: “Na Portable dey use him own hands do himself.”
As debates continue, it remains essential for consumers to critically assess the information they receive and rely on verified sources for accurate data. While the discussion about the efficiency of Dangote Refinery fuel may persist, one thing is clear: transparency and factual information are crucial in addressing public concerns.
