Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited, on Thursday, said it has resolved some of the issues that led to the shortage in the supply of fuel currently being experienced in some parts of the country.
NNPC Ltd said that the issues occurred as a result of logistics problems.
Chief Corporate Communications Officer, NNPC Ltd. Olufemi Soneye, disclosed this on Thursday while reacting to the situation.
Soneye reiterated that the prices of petroleum products were not changing.
He said, “The NNPC Ltd. wishes to clarify that the tightness in the supply of PMS currently being experienced in some areas across the country is as a result of logistics issues and that they have been resolved.
“The NNPC Ltd. urges Nigerians to avoid panic buying as there is a sufficiency of products in the country.”
Meanwhile, motorists in the Federal Capital Territory have expressed worry over the long queues being presently experienced at fuel stations due to scarcity of PMS.
