Petrol scarcity continued on Friday and practically grew
worse in Abuja and neighbouring states, as motorists formed massive queues in
the few filling stations that dispensed the commodity.
Right in front of the corporate headquarters of NNPC in
Abuja, motorists had persistently besieged the two filling stations; Conoil and
Total that dispense petrol.
But in its fuel supply update released on Friday and signed
by its spokesperson, Garba-Deen Muhammad, the NNPC stated that it had enough
products and was tackling distribution hitches that had been impeding PMS
supply.
It also stated that the oil firm had engaged the services of
security agencies to ensure that products were delivered at the right
locations.
It said, “NNPC once again assures Nigerians that it has
sufficient stock of petroleum products for distribution across the country and
is working assiduously with partners to ensure the product reaches every part
of the country.
“NNPC is further intensifying efforts to resolve
distribution hitches being experienced in some parts of the country due to
logistics issues.
“To this effect, NNPC is engaging depot operators to load
product round the clock to accelerate the restoration of normal distribution.”
It added, “NNPC has also engaged the services of government
security agencies to ensure that oll products loaded get to the night
destination.”
The oil firm urged Nigerians to continue to be patient as it
would continue to strive to restore the situation to normalcy.
