PETROSEN refutes fuel shortage allegations in Senegal

PETROSEN, Senegal’s national petroleum company, has issued a strong denial regarding circulating rumors about an imminent fuel shortage in the country. The company emphasizes that fuel supply operations remain stable and urges the public to disregard unverified claims spreading across social and digital platforms.

The allegations, which falsely suggested that PETROSEN had announced supply disruptions for gasoline, diesel, and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), have been categorically dismissed. The company confirmed that no such announcement was made and labeled the circulating documents as completely fabricated.

PETROSEN reassures both the general public and energy sector stakeholders that the national fuel supply chain—including importation, storage, and distribution—is operating smoothly. The company collaborates closely with government authorities and industry players to maintain uninterrupted services.

In light of the misinformation campaign, PETROSEN has called on citizens to verify information through official channels, specifically PETROSEN’s verified platforms and the Ministry of Energy, Petroleum, and Mines. The company warns that legal action may be pursued against individuals or entities responsible for spreading false information that could disrupt public order.
