The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation
(NNPC), has attributed the cause of the ongoing
fuel scarcity in Lagos and its environs to
distribution challenges.

Mr Feldelis Pepple, acting Group General
Manager, Public Affairs Division of the
Corporation disclosed this in Lagos on Sunday in
a telephone interview.

Pepple said that the country had sufficient
petroleum products but had distribution
challenges in getting them across to other
states.

He said that the just vandalised system 2B
Network at Arepo also contributed to the
challenges.

“We have sufficient products, but we are having
distribution challenges in getting the product to
other states and to the final destination of
selling.

“The just vandalised system 2B also contributes
to the distribution challenges, which makes it
difficult to pump products through the network
to other states,’’ he said. (NAN).
