According to the NNPC Limited, it has 1.2 billion liters of Premium Motor Spirit (petrol) on hand, which should provide a reliable supply for at least 35 days.
In a statement released over the weekend, Mr. Garba Deen Muhammad, Chief Corporate Communications Officer for NNPC Limited, said that the 2.1 billion liters included 0.9 billion liters at all national land depots and 1.2 billion liters aboard maritime vessels. According to him, the business “plans to conclude March 2023 with around 2.8 billion liters, which is equivalent to 47 days of sufficiency.
“The appearance of pockets of queues in Abuja and some parts of the country is largely due to restrictions in businesses and movement, to allow for the conduct of the Presidential and NASS elections and enable Nigerians to exercise their civic rights.
’However, operations have now resumed at the depots and trucks are being dispatched to various parts of the country. We expect normalcy to be restored in the next few days.
“NNPC Ltd. and all its partners and stakeholders will continue to work together to ensure seamless distribution of petroleum products around the Gubernatorial and State Assembly elections.”.
