The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Ltd. (NNPCL) has assured Nigerians that the ongoing fuel scarcity and queues will be cleared out by Wednesday, April 31.
Chief Communications Officer, NNPCL, Mr Olufemi Soneye stated this on Tuesday in Lagos.
According to Soneye, the company currently has an availability of products exceeding 1.5 billion litres, which can last for at least 30 days.
“Unfortunately, we experienced a three-day disruption in distribution due to logistical issues, which has since been resolved.
“However, as you know, overcoming such disruptions typically requires double the amount of time to return to normal operations,” he said.
He said: “Some folks are taking advantage of this situation to maximize profits.
“Thankfully, product scarcity has been minimal lately, but these folks might be exploiting the situation for unwarranted gain
“The lines will be cleared out between today and tomorrow,” Soneye assured.
Similarly, Mr Hammed Fashola, the National Vice President of the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (lPMAN), expressed hope that the queues in Lagos and Ogun would ease off this week, relying on the words of the NNPCL.
