Fuel Queues: Don’t panic, we have enough supply in stock – NNPC Ltd

By Olawale Afolabi

wishes to inform the general public that it has sufficient stock of petroleum products and the public should not give in to panic buying.

The current queue situation in some parts of Abuja and its environs is as a result of delays in arrival of fuel trucks. This is happening as a result of heavy flooding that has submerged parts of the highway passing through Lokoja, Kogi State and also an incidence of a failed road section around Badegi-Agaie highway in Niger State.

Consequently, vehicles, especially fuel tankers, are finding alternative roads to get to their intended destinations.

NNPC Ltd is working assiduously, in collaboration with relevant government agencies, to open up this major highway.

While we do that, we urge the general public to remain calm and not to engage in panic buying of petroleum products.

The current situation is temporary and has nothing to do with shortage of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) as the NNPC Ltd has a thirty-day products’ sufficiency.
