The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) on Wednesday night
said that it has reached an agreement with oil marketers to end scarcity
of petrol which has since resulted in the noticeable queues in major
cities across the country.
The corporation in a statement from its Group General Manager, Public
Affairs, Ohi Alegbe, in Abuja stated that the commitment of oil
marketers to support measures put in place by the federal government to
restore sanity to fuel supply and distribution condition will within
days ensure that the scarcity ends.
It explained that at the end of a strategy session convened by the
Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Dr. Ibe Kachikwu to address
the fuel situation, members of the Major Oil Marketers Association of
Nigeria (MOMAN); Depot and Petroleum Products Marketers Association
(DAPPMA) and the Jetty and Petroleum Tank Farm Owners of Nigeria
(JEPTFON), the parties agreed to end the fuel queues as soon as
possible.
Kachikwu was quoted in the statement to have asked the marketers to set
up proactive mechanism to guarantee unimpeded distribution of petroleum
products across the country.
