NNPCL Says no problems with the supply of fuel

The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) has attested to the availability of its goods, particularly the Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) gasoline.

Mr. Olufemi Soneye, the company’s chief communications officer, clarified this to The Nation via text message and said there were no problems with the product’s supply.

The representative mentioned that the corporation had resolved distribution issues in Lagos.

He said: “We are pleased to confirm that there are no supply issues and our products remain readily available. The recent tightness experienced in certain areas was due to a brief distribution issue in Lagos, which has since been resolved.”

Soneye’s explanation came on the heels of the recent scarcity of the product in some States of the Federation.

THE MATRIX observed that the product was available in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) on Tuesday.

But owing to its exorbitant cost of N670 per litre in most independent retail outlets, the demand was low.

Besides, the few NNPCL retail outlets, which vended the product for N617 per litre, recorded higher demand than their independent counterparts.
