It is no longer news that the Group Managing Director of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited, Mal Mele Kyari, on Wednesday, foreclosed all possibilities of a hike in petrol pump price, assuring that the persistent queues at filling stations will fizzle out in days ahead as 1.7 billion liters of the commodity was currently warehoused in its facilities and is distributed nationwide.
In line with the above, Swift Reporters has decided to publish the names of filling stations selling at the official pump price.
According to the Group Managing Director of the NNPC Limited, Mele Kyari, the company currently has over 1.7 billion litres of petrol in stock for distribution.
“Currently we have over 1.7 billion litres of PMS in our hands both in marine and on land. This also means that we now have capacity to load out excessively from all depots. We have put in place measures to ensure 24 hours loading in all depots,” Kyari said.
“This will ensure that scarcity created by panic buying will now be freed so that normalcy will return to filling stations. Typically in situations like this, people go to the filling stations and buy in excess of what they need and this is what additional supply will resolve. I am very sure that very soon we will see relief from this.”
