NNPC Deploys Additional Volumes Of Petrol To Abuja

The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation has announced the deployment of additional trucks of petrol to arrest the emerging fuel queues in some fuel stations in Abuja.

The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation said this in a statement signed by its Group General Manager, Group Public Affairs Division, Ohi Alegbe.

The corporation explained that it had increased the fuel supply to the Federal Capital Territory and environs from the usual average of one hundred and sixty trucks per day to two hundred and fifty trucks amounting to 8.25 million litres.

This development, according to NNPC, was to arrest the lull experienced due to last weekend’s State House of Assembly re-run election in Niger State, which affected truck movement from the Suleja depot.

It called on members of the public to refrain from all forms of hoarding, diversion and panic buying of petroleum products.

The corporation also assured the citizens of availability of petrol to meet the demand of consumers in Abuja and beyond.
