Uniport Professor Addresses False Claims About PMS Performance by ogugwa1992(op): 4:50pm On Feb 25, 2025

Engr. Dr. Saturday Genuine Ebigenibo, an Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Port Harcourt, has responded to misleading claims regarding the performance of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) sourced from different filling stations. He urged Nigerians to disregard the rumor that PMS from one station may burn slower or perform better than that from another.

Dr. Ebigenibo, who is also the Acting Head of the Mechanical Engineering Department and Acting Director of the Offshore Technology Institute, emphasized that the quality and performance of PMS are regulated and standardized, making it impossible for fuel from one accredited filling station to significantly differ in combustion efficiency from that of another.

He holds a Bachelor of Engineering (B. Eng) and a Master of Engineering (M. Eng) from the University of Port Harcourt, as well as a Ph.D. in Energy and Thermofluid Engineering from Cranfield University, UK. With his extensive expertise in energy systems, he reassured the public that the claims are unfounded and based on misinformation.

Dr. Ebigenibo's remarks come amid growing concerns among consumers regarding fuel quality, prompting him to clarify that all PMS sold at licensed filling stations meets the same national standards for performance and safety.

He concluded by encouraging motorists to remain informed and rely on credible sources for information regarding fuel quality.

Chochocho, No evidence.

Let him run his own experiment and show us the result.

No difference between MRS fuel and Mobil fuel I have been buying in my car. I bought MRS full tank 2 times and the mileage I got on that two occasions are the same or a little less than that of Mobil

I think there is confusion as per which marketers are selling Dangote fuel.

I suppose some others are selling Dangote fuel apart from MRS.

In all, I prefer made in Nigeria fuel to any foreign whether from Malta or ...

Who doesn't know before that the rumour is a well orchestrater marketing campaign by Dangote. Influencers have been settled to fly the story everywhere on social media. If you know you know

Whats this one saying?

If not long ago, some stations sold fuel that spoilt people's engines, how is this not possible? Where were the regulatory agencies when bad fuel was imported?

Dont let us believe you've collected money o.

Associate Professor for a reason

Even a lame man knows that some petrol burn faster than others.
AY shafa, and Matrix even burn faster than NNPLC

This isn't hard to confirm na, make we do our own testing then.

Since NNPCL is both marketer and regulator.....who will bell the cat
Re: Uniport Professor Addresses False Claims About PMS Performance by CodeTemplar: 5:29pm On Feb 25, 2025
Why not quench the doubt with another experiment instead if trying to bully us intellectually into accepting that all PMS are equal?
Re: Uniport Professor Addresses False Claims About PMS Performance by Mccollins042(m): 5:30pm On Feb 25, 2025
I would believe you when you do the experiment....some pms burn faster than the other that's a fact

Do your own test professor, science is based on evidence not talk. You don't need to be told

Since when I saw the nnpc&dangote pms video,I have refuse to buy from nnpc,
My going/back to ajah is always 20k nnpc fuel,
Now with Mrs it's around 15k

Re: Uniport Professor Addresses False Claims About PMS Performance by psucc(m): 5:32pm On Feb 25, 2025
Can't agree with the Prof. His major line of argument is that the product PMS is regulated and so can't have inferior type. So with this line alone, the Prof fails and his assertion falls flat in the face of facts and realities.

Over 90% of products sold in Nigeria are substandards. If you doubt me, just get to neighbouring Cameroon and buy a bottle of coke (Coca-Cola brand) and another from Nigeria. Taste each and come back here to tell us what you observe. 7-Up

The man just the speak big grammar with so much emphasis on his academic qualifications. This grammar is only fit for an ideal and sane country. Nigeria is nether of the two. So kindly put the standard nonsense in the dust bin

Re: Uniport Professor Addresses False Claims About PMS Performance by SarkinYarki: 5:36pm On Feb 25, 2025
Just look at this shameless clown , why don' he give us the octane rating of both products ...The truth is that you can never compare pure Petrol with ethanol blended Petrol and that's case at play here

He should simply have run a public controlled experiment.

This is just a sad reality of our so called ivory towers.
After getting certified using obsolete experiment techniques they will come and be bamboozling is with knowledge that is outdated. The reasons our graduates are behind current trends in their various fields except those that upgrade themselves also why our universities are not rated globally!

You only sat in your office on an armchair, open some old texts and draw conclusion on an issue that deserves empirical verification.
What happens to you going round take samples get into the lab to carry out tests on this products.
You even have students to use to do the work and you take credit for it. Then tell us your stand based on the results of your test.

The possibility of having significant difference in combustion rates of our pms is high and we all know it.

Imagine a professor of Thermofluid engineering making such ridiculous statement. Different grades of PMS burns at different rates depending on its blending. Those with higher ethanol content will of course burn faster than those with lower or no ethanol content.

Instead of the professor to conduct his own experiments to counter the one made by the other guy, he is just making unsubstantiated statements. Professor indeed.
