The Nigerian National
Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) has assured motorists that it has adequate
petroleum products that will serve the nation, irrespective of the proposed
strike by the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC).
The corporation gave the
assurance in a statement by Ndu Ughamadu, its spokesman, in Abuja on Sunday.
“The corporation had 39
days petroleum products sufficiency and about 25 days products availability on
land,” he said.
“Motorists and other
consumers of petroleum products are assured of adequate stock to meet their
energy needs.”
Ughamadu dispelled
insinuations of any impending petroleum products scarcity in the country.
He said providing
information on the petroleum products stock level became imperative to dispel
suggestions that the threat of strike by the Nigeria Labour Congress would
result in a slip into a round of products shortages across the country.
Ughamadu advised
motorists not to engage in panic buying as the corporation would do all it
could to ensure the strike did not impact negatively on fuel distribution
nationwide.
He urged Nigerians to
remain vigilant and volunteer information to the Department of Petroleum
Resources or any law enforcement agency around them, on any station that
attempts to take advantage of any prevailing situation in the country at the
expense of the consumers.
