Fuel scarcity: NNPCL releases 1.9billion liters PMS following DSS ultimatum
The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation Limited, NNPCL, released 1.9 billion gallons of petrol a day after the DSS gave oil and gas industry stakeholders a 48-hour ultimatum. DSS gave NNPCL, oil traders, and other stakeholders 48 hours to make PMS, or petrol, available to Nigerians.
Dr. Peter Afunanya, the secret service spokesperson, briefed on Thursday.
After the ultimatum, NNPC Group Chief Executive Officer Mallam Mele Kyari stated that the firm would release 1.9 billion liters of petroleum.
Kyari, represented by NNPC CFO Umar Ajiya, assured Nigerians of PMS availability.
“We have also asked the operation team to engage in 24-hour loading of PMS in the next couple of days and make sure some shops function 24 hours without compromising security to deliver speedy relief to the people,” he said.
Earlier, Engr. Farouk Ahmed promised to work with the NNPC and others to resolve petroleum product supply concerns and ensure seamless access.
The Depots and Petroleum Products Marketers Association of Nigeria (DAPPMAN), IPMAN, NARTO, and NUPENG pledged to end the shortage.
