The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) has extended a gesture of appreciation to #_Debbie_OA, an X user, by offering a free Petrol Motor Spirit (PMS) voucher worth N200,000. This move follows a tweet in which Debbie shared her commitment to waking up at 4:50 a.m. daily to prepare food for her husband.
In a tweet from the official NNPCL X handle, the company expressed admiration for Debbie’s love story and announced the gift, stating that the voucher could be redeemed at any of their 900+ retail stations nationwide. The tweet emphasized that this gesture would ensure that Debbie has energy for today and tomorrow. NNPCL confirmed reaching out to Debbie via direct message.
Debbie’s story gained attention and sparked controversy on social media after she revealed waking up early to cook for her husband, who mentioned his colleague’s thoughtful act of bringing two spoons to share a meal. The tweet generated mixed reactions, with some condemning and others supporting her dedication.
In addition to the NNPCL’s reward, Infinix Nigeria offered Debbie and her husband its latest device, Infinix Hot 40. The generosity extended beyond corporate gifts, as netizens donated over N2 million to Debbie, showcasing the supportive nature of fellow Nigerians.
This series of gestures reflects the power of social media in bringing attention to individuals and stories, creating a ripple effect of goodwill and contributions.
