The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), Monday, said over 480 truckloads of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) also known as petrol, had been dispatched to Abuja and neighbouring states within Sunday and Monday, to quell the scarcity in the region, Vanguard reports.
The Group General Manager, Group Public Affairs Department of the NNPC, Mr. Ohi Alegbe largely blamed the fuel scarcity on the re-run elections held in Niger State, over the weekend. He also stated that the situation was worsened by panic buying by motorists.
He stated that on Sunday, over 210 truckloads of fuel were dispatched to Abuja and environs. He also disclosed that another 270 truckloads of fuel were dispersed on Monday, while he expressed confidence that by today (Tuesday), the queues would have disappeared.
