NNPC reassures of adequate fuel stock as queues resurface in Abuja

Fuel queues

The Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Limited has urged the people not to panic amid the ongoing scarcity of fuel in Abuja.

Abuja residents are currently struggling to purchase fuel at different filling stations in the nation’s capital.

Reacting to the development, a statement issued on Wednesday night, Group General Manager, Group Public Affairs Division, Garba Deen Muhammad, said NNPC has sufficient petrol stock to meet the needs of Nigerians.

The statement reads: “Please do not panic, NNPC Ltd wishes to assure the public that the Company has sufficient PMS stock to meet the needs of Nigerians.”

Despite the assurances, residents in Abuja are currently struggling to purchase fuel at different filling stations in the nation’s capital.

Long fuel queues resurfaced everywhere around the Metropolis, as oil marketers claimed to have run out of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), also called petrol, leaving motorists frustrated and commuters stranded.

The development has also led to a sharp rise in fuel price, as black marketers sold a 10-litre jerry-can of petrol for N4,000, translating to N400/litre, to impatient motorists who could not endure the long queues.

Please do not panic, NNPC Ltd wishes to assure the public that the Company has sufficient PMS stock to meet the needs of Nigerians.
