Fuel scarcity: NNPC restates caution against panic buying

- Advertisment -

As the nationwide supply and distribution of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), also known as petrol, appear to improve, the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Limited has once again called on motorists to shun panic buying of the product.

In filling stations monitored across several states, including Lagos and the FCT, the queues have since thinned out, according to the NNPC, adding that it is a development that will keep improving daily in other states.

The company submitted in a statement that, at the moment, it has over 1.5 billion litres stock of PMS, which is equivalent to over 30 days sufficiency.

The NNPC Ltd said it is also collaborating with relevant downstream agencies, such as the Nigeran Midstream & Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA), labour unions in the sector and security operatives to address hoarding and other unwholesome practices.
