Nigeria National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL), has sacked a pump attendant, suspended station manager and issued warning letter to the dealer for an attempt to swindle a customer.

A statement by the apex oil company disowned the behaviour of the staff which it described as “unacceptable”, asserting it does not reflect the company’s commitment to integrity, transparency, and exceptional customer service.

The statement, made available to New National Star on Friday evening read: “The attention of NNPC Retail Limited has been drawn to a recent video circulating on social media platforms depicting a pump attendant at a filling station attempting to swindle a customer.

“Following a thorough investigation, the incident has been traced to a station in Ikorodu, Lagos. NNPC Retail Limited wishes to state categorically that such behaviour is unacceptable and does not reflect the company’s commitment to integrity, transparency, and exceptional customer service.

“In response to this incident, NNPC Retail Limited has taken the following decisive actions in line with its sanction grid:
