December 01, (THEWILL) – The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC Ltd) has assured Nigerians that it has sufficient products of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) sufficient to last over thirty days.
In a statement on Thursday, Executive Vice President, Downstream, NNPC Limited, Adeyemi Adetunji, assured that increased product loading in selected depots and extended hours at strategic stations would be deployed to ensure sufficiency nationwide.
He said the NNPC has programmed vessels and trucks to unconstrained depots while massive load-outs from depots to States are closely monitored to ease fuel queues.
“The recent queues in Lagos are largely due to ongoing road infrastructure projects around Apapa and access road challenges in Lagos.
“The gridlock is easing out and NNPC Ltd has programmed vessels and trucks to unconstrained depots and massive load-outs from depots to states are closely monitored”, he said.
Adetunji said that Abuja was impacted by the challenges recorded in Lagos, adding that NNPC retail and key marketers had intensified dedicated loading into Abuja to restore normalcy.
“We want to reassure Nigerians that NNPC has sufficient products and we significantly increased product loading in selected depots and extended hours at strategic stations to ensure sufficiency nationwide.
“We are also working with industry stakeholders to ensure normalcy is returned as soon as possible”, he added.
