NNPC Warns Nigerians Against Creating Artificial Fuel Scarcity
The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) on Monday warned Nigerians against creating artificial fuel scarcity as there was enough petrol in the country.
The corporation said there is currently .7 billion litres of the product in stock.
In a statement by the NNPC Spokesman, Mr. Garba Muhammad, the Corporation said it was not aware of any plan by the federal government to raise the prices of petrol in the country.
The statement added that apart from what the corporation has in stock, more products are still expected in the country in weeks and months.
Part of the statement reads, “The Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA) had made that declaration last week.
“In view of these assurances therefore, the NNPC is advising motorists and other consumers of petrol to maintain their regular pattern of the purchase of petrol without getting into a panic situation that may send the wrong signals around the country,”
