[b] Abuja - The Management of NNPC
on Sunday said the fire incident at
its Minna Depot would not affect
petroleum products distribution.
A statement issued by the acting
Group General Manager, Public
Affairs, Tumini Green in Abuja, said
it was a minor incident of which
repair works had since commenced.
The statement said the fire, which
affected Tank 102 at the Depot, was
quickly contained before causing
any major damage.
"There was adequate water supply
and storage at the Minna Depot with
four functional Industrial Boreholes .
"The Fire Water Pumps, Hydrant,
Tank Sprinkler system, and the
Foam Pourer were all in perfect
condition at the time of the fire
incident.
"These facilities aided to extinguish
the fire without much damage”, it
said.
The statement explained that Tank
102 had over 8.5 million litres of
PMS at the time of the incident,
adding that the availability of fire
fighting equipment and personnel
saved the situation.
The NNPC, therefore, advised the
general public not to engage in
panic buying and hoarding of
petroleum products as the incident
"would not in any way affect PMS
distribution to the region either now
or in the near future''.
