The federal government has disclosed why there is slight
fuel scarcity nationwide.
It stated that the just concluded presidential and National
Assembly Elections are the reason for the scarcity.
In a statement on Sunday by the Chief Executive of the
Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority, NMDPRA, Engr.
Farouk Ahmed, the authority warned Nigerians against panic-buying.
It assured that it is working with stakeholders to address
the situation.
“Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory
Authority, NMDPRA, assures Nigerians that operations in loading depots have
fully resumed following the restriction of movements during the recently
concluded Presidential and National Assembly elections, which necessitated
truck drivers to travel to exercise their civic duty.
“Consequently, the NMDPRA is working with other Stakeholders
to mitigate the slight tightness being experienced in the distribution of
Premium Motor Spirit (PMS).
“Most importantly, the public is invited to note that the
current stock sufficiency stands at 35.39 days for PMS, 34.86 days for AGO and
31.36 days for ATK.
“The Authority strives to guarantee supply and distribution
reliability nationwide and strongly advises against panic buying”.
