NNPCL resolves supply hitch in Lagos
By Yusuf Yunus
The management of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Ltd.(NNPCL) has attributed inadequate petroleum product supply to some filling stations in Lagos to an issue in one of the depots in the state.
Mr Olufemi Soneye, the Chief Corporate Communications Officer of NNPCL, disclosed this in a statement on Friday in Lagos.
Soneye said that NNPC Ltd.’s retail arm had resolved the issue, and that starting from April 6, normalcy would return to the affected area.
He urged motorists in Lagos to refrain from panic buying of petrol, emphasising that efforts were underway to ensure adequate supply of petroleum products in the region.
The Business Intelligence (TBI Africa) reports a resurgence of fuel queues in parts of Lagos as supply decreases.
Motorists across filling stations in various parts of the state, including Ikorodu Road, Bariga, Anthony, Mayland, Oyingbo and Ogba have encountered long queues of vehicles.
Other areas include Ikeja, Alausa, Oba Akran, Surulere, and Victoria Island.
