NNPC Denies Claims On Claims On Sale Of Refinery Scrap, Equipment

NNPC Limited wishes to alert the public to the circulation of misleading and false information suggesting that the Company is selling scrap materials, equipment, or components from its refineries to individuals and private companies.

The Company wishes to categorically state that this information is untrue. NNPC Limited has not issued any request for bids, tenders, expressions of interest, or approvals for the sale of scrap materials, refinery components, or any items from the warehouses or inventories of any of its refineries.

NNPC Limited has also received reports that certain individuals are falsely presenting themselves as representatives or agents of the Company, claiming to facilitate the sale of so-called “scrap metals” or refinery equipment. These individuals are not authorised by NNPC Limited and are attempting to mislead members of the public.

The Company therefore advises the public, corporate organisations, and industry stakeholders to disregard any such claims or solicitations and to exercise caution in dealing with anyone making such representations.

For the avoidance of doubt, NNPC Limited is not conducting, nor has it authorised, any sale of scrap metals, equipment, or refinery components from any of its facilities.

NAF Agusta Helicopter Fleet Projects Precision Airpower Across Multiple Theatres

The Nigerian Air Force’s Agusta helicopter fleet remains a critical force multiplier in contemporary air operations, delivering agile, precision-responsive support across the North East, North West and North Central theatres.

From armed reconnaissance and close air support to combat search-and-rescue, tactical insertion and casualty evacuation, the Agusta platforms consistently enable rapid dominance over difficult terrain and fleeting terrorist targets.

Since the induction of the AW109 Power series, the fleet has significantly enhanced the NAF’s ability to prosecute counter-terrorism and counter-insurgency missions with speed, accuracy and persistence, complementing fixed-wing strikes while providing real-time support to ground forces in high-risk battle spaces.

The platform’s versatility continues to contribute immensely to successful offensives against insurgent enclaves, destruction of logistics hubs, interdiction of gun trucks and disruption of terrorist mobility corridors across several joint theatres.

Empirically, the impact of the fleet is reflected in the Nigerian Air Force’s sustained operational tempo and expanding mission outcomes.

NAF Agusta Helicopter

Within 15 months of sustained operations, the Service recorded over 8,665 missions in 9,928 sorties, generating more than 15,915 flying hours across multiple theatres, with rotary-wing assets such as the Agusta helicopters playing pivotal roles in precision strikes, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance support, tactical mobility and casualty evacuation.

Across theatres, the Agusta fleet’s rapid-response capability continues to degrade insurgent fighting strength, improve troop survivability and reinforce public confidence in the decisive impact of NAF airpower in restoring peace, security and territorial integrity.
