The Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR) says it is not celebrating any 50 years anniversary and has not commissioned any media company to do a publication in that regard.

The DPR made this known in a statement issued by its Head, Public Affairs, Mr Paul Osu on Friday in Lagos.

Osu said: ” The DPR’s attention has been drawn to the activities of a company named,  Brooklands New Media.

“The company has been soliciting for materials, profiles and advert placements from companies for a purported commemorative special publication celebrating 50 years  of the DPR.

“We wish to inform the general public that DPR is not celebrating any 50 years anniversary and we have not commissioned Brooklands New Media to do a publication in that regard.

”We wish to reiterate to the general public that DPR does not have any affiliation with the company, and they are not acting on our behalf in any  guise. “

He added that any company that deals with Brooklands New Media was therefore doing so at its own risk as the regulatory agency would not be held liable.
