By Yusuf Yunus
The Major Energies Marketers Association of Nigeria (MEMAN) says it expects over 300 million liters of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) from eight vessels to ease fuel scarcity and queues in Lagos and other parts of Nigeria this week.
MEMAN Chairman, Mr. Huub Stokman, stated that the organization is actively coordinating with its members in Apapa and other locations to ensure that PMS is loaded and distributed to retail outlets safely and quickly.
This effort is aimed at addressing the current fuel shortages and the challenges faced by consumers.
MEMAN is working closely with the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA) and other stakeholders to eliminate fuel queues and restore stability.
Additional support is being provided by the Nigerian Association of Road Transport Owners (NARTO) and the Petroleum Tanker Drivers (PTD).
MEMAN is extending depot loading times to ensure that loading goes unhindered. including tomorrow the 1st of May 2024.
Selected retail outlets will be open for longer hours to ensure we can service our customers as long and as safely possible. Independent marketers (depots & stations) are being allocated additional PMS to alleviate the situation.
The association remains committed to supporting the Federal Government’s distribution efforts and ensuring the availability of petroleum products nationwide.
