The Nigerian National Petroleum Company, NNPC Ltd, has provided reassurance to Nigerians that the current fuel scarcity and queues will be resolved by Wednesday, May 1.<\/p>\n
According to Olufemi Soneye, the Chief Communications Officer of NNPCL, the company currently has an ample supply of products, exceeding 1.5 billion litres, which can sustain for at least 30 days.<\/p>\n
Soneye explained that although there was a recent three-day disruption in distribution due to logistical issues, the situation has been rectified. However, he noted that overcoming such disruptions typically requires additional time to return to normal operations.<\/p>\n
He acknowledged that some individuals may be taking advantage of the situation to maximize profits, but assured that the lines at fuel stations will be cleared out between Tuesday and Wednesday.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Hammed Fashola, the National Vice President of the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN), expressed optimism that fuel queues in Lagos and Ogun would ease off this week, based on the assurances from NNPCL.<\/p>\n
Fashola explained that the delays in fuel supply were due to logistical challenges, which disrupted the supply chain. He anticipated that by Tuesday or Wednesday, there would be more products available for marketers to lift.<\/p>\n
However, Fashola cautioned that the queues in Abuja might persist a bit longer due to the distance from Lagos and the condition of the roads. Despite this, he assured that the situation would gradually improve, especially in Lagos, during the new week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
