NNPC Assures Nigerians Of Sustained Supply Of Petroleum Products During The Holidays

The Managing Director Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), Mallam Mele Kyari, says it has made preparations for the holidays in which petroleum products will be available throughout the country. This he said during a visit to tank farms at the Ijegun-Egba corridor, and was reiterated during his visit to Lagos State Government House in Ikeja, Wednesday.

He said that NNPC would continue to work with stakeholders like the Lagos Government, to ensure that the current supply and distribution of products nationwide is maintained and that it crosses into the Yuletide period.

“As a responsible corporate citizen, NNPC and its partners in the Downstream have made adequate preparations, and our plan is robust and we foresee a very hitch-free Christmas full of products, well into the New Year,” Kyari assured.

He also said that although it was a soothing arrangement, the NNPC and its stakeholders would collaborate to provide a permanent solution to the problems.

Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwolu, expressed his support to the initiative to help tackle infrastructural challenges, not only at the Ijegun-Egba, but the entire state, adding that his administration would leave no stone unturned in tackling the challenges.

“This is the first time all the stakeholders are coming together to have a long-term view of the situation. We will do everything that is required to ensure that everything goes well on that entire corridor,” Sanwolu stated.
