Fuel: Don’t Panic, We Have Enough Supply In Stock – NNPC

The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC Ltd) has warned the populace against making rash purchases since it has enough petroleum products in store.

According to a statement released by NNPC on Thursday by Garba Muhammad, Group General Manager, Group Public Affairs Division, NNPC Ltd., the current line-ups in several areas of Abuja and its surroundings are the result of fuel trucks arriving later than expected.

Muhammad claimed that Lokoja, Kogi's highway had been partially buried as a result of the severe flooding.

Additionally, he said that a failed road portion along the Badegi-Agaie route in Niger State had a role.

“Consequently, vehicles, especially fuel tankers, are finding alternative roads to get to their intended destinations.

“NNPC Ltd is working assiduously, in collaboration with relevant government agencies, to open up this major highway.

“While we do that, we urge the general public to remain calm and not to engage in panic buying of petroleum products,” he advised.

He said that since NNPC Ltd has a thirty-day supply of products, the current problem is only temporary and has nothing to do with a scarcity of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS).
