The Major Energies Marketers Association of Nigeria (MEMAN) has revealed plans to address the prevailing fuel scarcity in Lagos and other parts of Nigeria by expecting over 300 million liters of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) from eight vessels this week.

Mr. Huub Stokman, Chairman of MEMAN, affirmed the organization’s proactive measures in coordinating with its members across Apapa and other locations to expedite the loading and distribution of PMS to retail outlets, with the aim of easing the current challenges faced by consumers.

Stokman emphasized MEMAN’s collaboration with the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA) and other stakeholders to mitigate fuel queues and restore stability in the market. The association is also receiving support from the Nigerian Association of Road Transport Owners (NARTO) and the Petroleum Tanker Drivers (PTD).
