Hello Friends!
A Word is enough for the wise...Wisdom, is the best defense mechanism... Please anyone that uses kerosine, should please yield to this advice.

The Nigerian national Petroleum corporation has warned users of kerosene to desist from buying the commodity from road side hawkers, to avoid purchasing adulterated product that can lead to explosion.

The Group General Manger (Public Affairs) of NNPC, Dr. Levi Ajuonuma, gave the warning on Friday in Abuja in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria.

“We want to appeal to Nigerians to ensure they buy the product (kerosene) from designated outlets and filling stations to avoid adulterated product that could lead to explosion,” he said.

He gave the assurance that the kerosene imported into the country was of high quality and standard, and that any case of explosion might be an isolated case as a result of adulteration by hawkers.
He said the NNPC would intensify its synergy with the Department of Petroleum Resources and security operatives to mitigate the menace.

The NNPC spokesman reiterated the commitment of the Federal Government towards ensuring adequate supply of the product across the country.

NAN reports that there have been pockets of domestic explosions as a result of adulterated kerosene in the FCT and some parts of the country.
