Rivers Administration Clarifies Fubara’s Moves Against NNPCL And Other Oil Entities
The Rivers State government has dismissed rumors claiming that Governor Siminalayi Fubara has ordered the shutdown of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) and other oil companies operating in the state. These allegations, which emerged from a social media report, were addressed in a statement by the Commissioner for Information and Communications, Warisenibo Joe Johnson.

The government described the claims as not only false but also as malicious propaganda. They urged residents to disregard the report, asserting that Fubara has not issued any such directive.

The statement emphasized, “The attention of the Rivers State Government has been drawn to a misleading news item circulating on social media regarding ‘Gov. Siminalayi Fubara shutting down NNPCL and all oil companies in Rivers State.’ This report is entirely false and a product of the author’s imagination and the enemies of the State.”

It further noted that Governor Fubara is dedicated to upholding the rule of law and does not resort to unconventional methods to address governance issues. The government encouraged Rivers residents and concerned Nigerians to ignore the fabricated claims, reiterating that Fubara has never considered or issued an order to disrupt the economy.
