PETROSEN clears up fuel shortage rumors in Senegal

PETROSEN, Senegal’s state-owned petroleum company, has strongly refuted recent claims circulating online about an imminent fuel shortage in the country. The company confirmed that fuel supply chains are operating normally and urged the public to disregard false information being spread on social media and other digital platforms.

Addressing misinformation about fuel supplies

According to PETROSEN’s official statement, false reports have falsely suggested that the company announced difficulties in supplying gasoline, diesel, and gas. The company emphasized that these claims are entirely unfounded and do not reflect its current operations.

Current status of petroleum supplies

PETROSEN reassured both the public and energy sector stakeholders that there is no fuel shortage in Senegal. The national supply chain, including import, storage, and distribution, is functioning smoothly in coordination with relevant authorities and industry players.

The company urged citizens to rely exclusively on verified sources such as PETROSEN’s official communication channels and the Ministry of Energy, Petroleum, and Mines for accurate updates. PETROSEN also warned that legal action may be taken against individuals or entities spreading misleading information that could disrupt public order and cause unnecessary panic.
