In the face of severe agony Nigerians are experiencing over fuel scarcity, the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Limited has promised restoration of regular supply to clear out the queues by Wednesday, May1, 2024.
NNPCL chief communications officer, Olufemi Soneye, in an interview on Tuesday, said the company currently has availability of products exceeding 1.5 billion litres, which can last for at least 30 days.
“Unfortunately, we experienced a three-day disruption in distribution due to logistical issues, which has since been resolved,” Soneye said.
“However, as you know, overcoming such disruptions typically requires double the amount of time to return to normal operations.
“Some folks are taking advantage of this situation to maximize profits. Thankfully, product scarcity has been minimal lately, but these folks might be exploiting the situation for unwarranted gain.
“The lines will be cleared out between today and tomorrow,” Soneye assured.
