The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited, NNPCL, said fuel stations are to operate longer hours for supply and distribution of the Premium Motor Spirit, PMS, also known as petrol.
It called on fuel stations to aid availability of the product in view of the current tight situation.
The NNPCL said the turnaround period of PMS trucking is also elongated to ease the situation being witnessed.
The Executive Vice President, Downstream, Mr Dapo Segun, said this on Monday in Abuja during a joint inspection of stations by the officials of NNPCL and Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority, NMDPRA.
NAN reported that NNPCL and NMDPRA embarked on a joint monitoring of the supply and distribution of fuel stations in the FCT and across the country to ensure that queues disappear.
NNPCL had said that fuel queues in the FCT and parts of the country were as a result of disruption of ship-to-ship (STS) transfer of fuel between mother vessels and daughter vessels resulting from recent thunderstorms.
