Notice: NNPC Cautions Against Fake 50th Anniversary Quiz Contest

The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) has warned Nigerians to beware of a fake quiz competition trending online which claimed to celebrate its 50th anniversary.

This was contained in a statement released on Tuesday by group general manager of NNPC public affairs division, Garba Deen Muhammad.
