Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), on Wednesday, apologised the country for the lingering fuel scarcity that's currently plaguing the nation.
However, The agency assured that the problem had been resolved with adequate supply of Premium Motor Spirit through import and the local refineries.
Spokesman for NNPC, Garba Deen Mohammed, and the Group Executive Directors, Upstream, Mr Bello Rabiu, Downstream, Henry Obih and Refineries, Anibor Kragha, told state House Correspondents that five vessels had berthed in the ports discharging products all over the country.
According to Bello, the ships are in Lagos, Port Harcourt and Warri ports to complement importation from private dealers all together discharging at least 120 million litres of products.
Bello said that in moving the products up to the hinterlands, the NNPC had the only option of trucking as most of the pipelines were not working.
He said NNPC was in a position to take PMS from the Atlas cove jetty up to Ibadan while the rest of the distribution was being done through the depots in the Lagos area.
He said that henceforth, the organisation was ready to announce the daily supply of PMS to the states and that the governors had expressed readiness to put task forces in place to ensure that the products were delivered to the consumers.
He said NNPC was ready to ensure there was no repeat of the scarcity.
He said the corporation was making sure that trucking was efficient having solved the supply problems.
Still no specific date for when the fuel scarcity will get dropped like its hot...
