ABUJA — The Nigeria National Petroleum Company (NNPC) has expressed concern about the sudden appearance of queues in parts of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.
General Manager, Group Public Affairs Division of the NNPC, Garba Deen-Mohammed, in a statement, however, assured residents not to panic as normalcy would return as quickly as possible.
According to the statement, the queues are due to low load-outs at Depots, which usually happen during long Public Holidays; in this case, the Sallah celebrations.
“NNPC-Limited hereby advises motorists not to engage in panic buying as supplies are adequate and will become increasingly evident in the coming days.
“NNPC-Limited “has ample local supplies and national stock in excess of 2.5 Billion Litres”, with the sufficiency of more than 43 days.
“Another contributing factor to the sudden appearances of queues is the increased fuel purchase caused by the return of Residents of the FCT from the Public Holidays,” the statement adds.
It also assured the public that NNPC-Limited and the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority, in conjunction with Marketing Partners, have taken necessary measures to ramp up load-outs from all Depots.
