Press Release
The Management of the Nigerian National Petroleum
Corporation, NNPC on Tuesday assured members of the public that the noticeable
queues at fuel stations in the Federal Capital Territory and its environs would
soon become a thing of the past as the Corporation has increased fuel truck-out
from the Suleja depot to Abuja to ease distribution challenges.
The Corporation in statement noted that the artificially
induced distribution challenge in the FCT was as a result of the few days lull
in the loading gantries caused by the recently concluded general elections
across the country.
While calling on members of the public to resist
the temptation of hoarding, product diversion and panic buying of petroleum
products, NNPC noted that it currently has enough product in strategic reserves
to meet 30 days forward consumption.
The Corporation noted that a special monitoring
team has been deployed to check incidents of products diversion by some
unscrupulous marketers and ensure that appropriate sanctions are brought to
bear on such unpatriotic acts.
