Executive Director, Commercial, Pipelines and Product Marketing Company,
PPMC, Mr. Justin Ezeala, said that the country currently has 656.376
million litres of PMS in its various storage platform, while it is
expecting additional 756.99 million litres of the product before the end
of November.
He said they had 17days supply to serve the whole nation in stock and 35d.ays days supply expected. Ezeala disclosed that the NNPC and the PPMC have increased fuel supply
to Abuja and environs and also across the country and would lift about
180 truckloads of PMS to Abuja from about 135 trucks daily.
He identified some of the factors responsible for the scarcity to include the menace of pipeline vandalism, the
perennial gridlock in Apapa, Lagos; hoarding and diversion of petroleum
products and the challenges brought about in the interface with other
government agencies in the discharge of petroleum products at the ports
and at depots. He urged Nigerians to stop panic buying as there was still fuel in the country
