The
Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), yesterday urged Nigerians to be
patient, as it is working round the clock to ensure that the fuel crisis
currently witnessed across the country end within the next two weeks.
The NNPC, in a statement signed by its Group General Manager, Group Public
Affairs Division, Mr. Garba Deen Mohammed, said as at 1600hrs yesterday, one
Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) cargo, containing 42 million litres had completely
discharged, two more PMS cargos with a combined ‘Remaining on Board’ (ROB) of
44 million litres are currently discharging while another PMS cargo containing
44 million litres is berthed and awaiting discharge.
The NNPC said it has enough products lined up to ensure that
the supply gap which created the problem is bridged, while it added that in
order to ensure effective distribution, it is working with Independent
Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN), oil majors and over 1,000
NNPC staff, nationwide to ensure it overcomes the obstacles in the distribution
of the products.
