The Petroleum Products Pricing Regulatory Agency (PPPRA) has dismissed allegations that the ICPC was investigating the agency over some alleged infractions.
Reacting to the allegation made by an online publication, the Executive Secretary of the PPPRA, Mr Reginald Stanley, described the allegation as farce, malicious and a smear campaign.
The executive secretary, who spoke to reporters in Abuja on Sunday on the activities of the PPPRA, dismissed the allegations as cheap blackmail by fifth columnists, working to undermine the transparency regime in the PPPRA.
"PPPRA hereby unequivocally states that the news making the rounds is a figment of the imagination of the people peddling it".
"The agency is not under any investigation whatsoever by the ICPC or any anti-corruption agency for that matter".
Stanley said that the PPPRA had often been unduly attacked by blackmailers, mischief makers and disgruntled elements, wanting to take their pound of flesh on the management of the agency for refusing to toe the wrong line in executing its mandate.
"The PPPRA under its current leadership remains a responsible organisation, committed to enthroning transparency, accountability and international best practices in the downstream sector of the petroleum industry.
"The discerning public is hereby enjoined to continue to support the agency in its efforts at enthroning a transparent, accountable and effective supply and distribution system in the downstream,’’ Stanley stated.(NAN)
