EKO HOT BLOG reports that the Nigeria National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) has explained the reasons behind the recent fuel scarcity in Abuja and Lagos State.

In a statement on Saturday, Chief Corporate Communications Officer Olufemi Soneye assured that efforts are ongoing around the clock to resolve the scarcity.
Soneye mentioned that there were hitches in the discharge operations of a few vessels. While he did not specify when the scarcity would end, he assured that normalcy would soon be restored.
NNPCL advised Nigerians against panic buying, reiterating that fuel is available for customers.
“The NNPC Ltd. wishes to state that the tightness in fuel supply and distribution witnessed in some parts of Lagos and the FCT is as a result of a hitch in the discharge operations of a couple of vessels.
“The Company further states that it is working round the clock with all stakeholders to resolve the situation and restore normalcy in the operations,” the statement read.
