NNPC says fuel queues will disappear by weekend

The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), Mr Ndu Ughamadu, on Thursday in Abuja says fuel queues will `normalise’ by Friday and disappear by the weekend.

Mr Ndu Ughamadu, the NNPC spokesman, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja that there was an increase in the number of incoming trucks of petrol into the FCT to curb the queues in the city.

According to him, the NNPC Group Managing Director, Dr Maikanti Baru, has met with the heads of Nigerian Association of Road Transport Owners (NARTO) and Petrol Tanker Drivers (PTD) to nip the problem in the bud.


He disclosed that a nation that consumed 35 million litres suddenly increased consumption to 85 million litres due diversion to neighbouring countries.

“Dr Baru just today directed that more trucks be moved into the FCT to douse tension and increase supply. He met with NARTO and PTD and they assured that trucks would be closely monitored.

“He said Lagos should be maintained at 300 trucks but the actual figure coming into Abuja should be increased by 150.

“Port Harcourt refinery has also increased refining and so by tomorrow (Friday) queues should normalise and by weekend it would have disappeared,’’ Ughamadu said.

He told NAN that the scarcity was artificial as the corporation “as at today has adequate products and a 25-day sufficiency’’.

A check of some filling stations in Abuja by NAN correspondents revealed that the queues were getting longer across the city.

Of the 16 petrol stations on the airport road, only three were dispensing the product while the rest were closed.

Attempts to reach the Department of Petroleum Resources for comments on the shut stations were not possible, as the spokesperson did not pick his calls.

Speaking to NAN at the A.Y.M Shafa filing station in Apo, a consumer, Mr Ter Swende said “I have to be in Oturkpo by tomorrow for a wedding on Saturday and for Christmas so I must get petrol today’’.

Mrs Buniya Solomon, told NAN at the Conoil filling station opposite NNPC towers that “I joined the queue from Reiz Continental hotel (about 1 kilometre away).

“It’s moving but the heat is something else and in my condition (heavily pregnant), it’s becoming unbearable but I have to queue up because children are on holiday and have to go out to celebrate Christmas.”

Always have at least 25 liters keg in your trunk, and be ready to add 100 to 500 naira extra depending on the area.




When the pump attendants sees you with keg :

Stories

Lie. Buhari can lie for africa

Ok.

Lies as usual.

Fuel is the Zoo's political tool. Zoogeria is nothing but a pathetic fuel economy.

When GEJ tried to solve this fuel issue ones and for all by removing oil subsidy, Save Zoo group went to ojota to display their dancing skills in protest against it. If fuel subsidy was removed early enough in 2012, we would be talking about how many private refineries that have been build, not fuel marketers and fuel scarcity.

The truth is that the reality of fuel subsidy is setting in. International oil price is rising and current fuel price of N145 is grossly inadequate for marketters to cover landing cost. And the govt is refusing to tell Nigerians the truth. Why will they when they all claimed during GEJ govt that subsidy was a SCAM. Should they swallow their lies and go back to their vomits by paying the very subsidy they call scam?

Now subsidy has become a big boil to this buhari govt to the point that any attempt to remove it will turn Nigeria upside down. The situation of the Zoo can be liken to a person living with big snake in his house. The house owner refused to remove the snake when it was small because he thought he can handle it. It's just a small snake, so he thought. Now that the snake has grown very big, the man dare not get close to the snake talk more of removing it from his house. This is the current situation of buhari govt. Always living in lies and denial.

Zoogerians should brace up for fuel price increase!!

Which weekend..... Abi no b weekend we dey so

Na today?

Since 8am, People are stranded in Abuja. Could not board any vehicle to Benin because of non availability of fuel. Stupid government.

You mean there are no indicators to predict and forestall petroleum products scarcity? When NNPC noticed a spike in consumption, what was the organization's response?

Simple supply chain mangement of a strategic product NNPC cannot keep? Choi!

All these lies must stop this 2017.. Am tired of it

Lies lies lies.

common wee i kip chut....infact gerrarahere mhen iffa cash u ehhn
We don taya 2 dey here lies abeg

Nigerians are terrible set of creatures.

How do you explain, touts are hawking fuel in jerrycans and selling at cut-throat rates while fuel stations are hoarding theirs from the public and only dispensing to the touts at night to sell at exorbitant prices?

The scarcity is artificial because desperate few are poised on milking the people. The end justifies the means. God is watching us

This country is finished...

Liars

Same old stories
