The corporation then explained that measures have been put in place to resolve the fuel crisis. “We have stepped up measures designed to eliminate the challenges experienced by the public in accessing petrol across the country
“Operation “1 cargo per day” has led to the noticeable reduction in the length of fuel queues across the country especially in Lagos and Abuja
“Under this operation, NNPC takes delivery of one daily cargo of PMS (45m litres) for onward distribution to fuel stations across the country
“The challenges are worsened by unrestrained attacks on crude supply lines and strikes at various agencies in Lagos.”
“Marketers have also faced fiscal challenges in importing fuel and we have filled the gap, proving a 30-day buffer arrangement,” NNPC said. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday
