NNPC Addresses Fuel Queues, Cites Logistics Challenges and Flooding

…NNPC and Stakeholders Vow to Restore Normalcy

NNPC Ltd has attributed the recent fuel queues in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) and other parts of Nigeria to disruptions in the ship-to-ship (STS) transfer of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), also known as petrol. The disruptions were caused by recent thunderstorms.

The adverse weather conditions have affected berthing at jetties, truck load-outs, and transportation of products to filling stations, disrupting station supply logistics. Additionally, due to the flammability of petroleum products and compliance with Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NIMET) regulations, it is impossible to load petrol during rainstorms and lightning. Adherence to these regulations is mandatory to prevent severe danger to trucks, filling stations, and human lives.

Flooding of truck routes has further compounded the issue, constraining the movement of PMS from coastal corridors to Abuja. NNPC Ltd is collaborating with relevant stakeholders to address these logistics challenges and restore seamless petrol supply to the affected areas. Loading has already commenced in areas where challenges have subsided, and the situation is expected to improve in the coming days, with full normalcy restored soon.

NNPC also urges motorists to avoid panic buying and hoarding of petroleum products.
