The Nigeria National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC) has assured Nigerians that it has enough fuel to disburse across the nation.
This comes amidst severe fuel scarcity in the states of the nation including Lagos, with stations selling as high as N240 per liter
Speaking at a press briefing in Abuja, the company says it has enough supplies for thirty days, adding that it has over 2 billion litres available for distribution.
Further, NNPC attributed the lingering fuel scarcity to ongoing road infrastructure projects around Apapa in Lagos State as well as the unavailability of access roads around some of the pretroleum depots.
Furthermore, the NNPC said it will now increase its supplies in the various depots and will be working 24 hours to achieve this.
The Executive Vice President, Downstream, NNPC, Adetunji Adeyemi, who spoke to newsmen, said;
”Abuja is impacted by the challenges recorded in Lagos. NNPC retail and other key marketers have intensified dedicated loading into Abuja to restore normalcy as soon as possible.
“We want to reassure all Nigerians that NNPC has sufficient products and we have significantly increased product loading including 24 hours operation in selected depots.
“In addition, we have caused extented hours at some stations to ensure product sufficiency nationwide and at all times.” Adeyemi said
