Petrosen denies fuel shortage in Senegal amid misinformation

In a decisive move to counter the spread of misleading online claims, PETROSEN, Senegal’s national petroleum company, has categorically denied rumors of an impending fuel shortage affecting gasoline, diesel, and gas supply across the country.

The company issued an official statement clarifying that no such crisis exists and that the current supply chain, including import, storage, and distribution, is operating smoothly in collaboration with relevant authorities and industry stakeholders.

Responding to false claims with transparency

According to PETROSEN, a fabricated press release has been circulating on social media platforms, falsely attributing an alleged supply disruption to the company. The company emphasized that it did not release any such statement and that the circulating information is entirely baseless and designed to create unnecessary panic.

Where to find verified information

To prevent further confusion and ensure public trust, PETROSEN urges citizens and stakeholders to rely exclusively on its official communication channels and updates from the Ministry of Energy, Petroleum and Mines for accurate and up-to-date information regarding fuel supplies.

Legal consequences for misinformation

The national petroleum company has strongly condemned the dissemination of false information, warning that it reserves the right to take legal action against individuals, groups, or online platforms responsible for spreading these rumors. Such actions are viewed as detrimental to public order and economic stability.

PETROSEN reassures the people of Senegal that the country’s fuel supply remains stable and sufficient to meet national demand, with no risk of disruption on the horizon.
