The Integrity Youth Alliance has said that Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited is transparent in the distribution of 387.6 million litres to curb the scarcity and long queues that have now disappeared.
In reaction to the claim by the International Center for Investigative Reporting that “despite claims of releasing 387.6 million litres to curb the scarcity, long queues have continued to appear at filling stations, with its attendant waste of man-hours in both Lagos and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT),” the National Coordinator of Integrity Youth Alliance, Kelvin Adegbenga said that NNPC was transparent by giving the breakdown of the despots that got the PMS.
“For record purposes, below is the weekly distribution of 385.59 million litres to the top 20 high loading depots, which include Pinnacle-Lekki, which evacuated the highest volume of 70.8 million litres; NIPCO (22.6 million litres), AITEO (22.3 million litres); Swift (16 million litres), 11 PLC (15.9 million litres), Bovas Bulk (15 million litres) and Frado (14.6 million litres).

“Also, additional 381 million Litres of PMS was released; the product, according to the PMS Evacuation Report of the NNPC, was lifted from the depot and distributed to Nigerians through retail filling stations within one week covering February 21st and 26th. The release of the 381.88 million litres of petrol to Nigerians by the NNPC, represents an average daily distribution of 63.65 million litres. This is in addition to the 387.5 million litres of petrol which was released to Nigerians during the week covering February 14th to February 20th. A breakdown of the NNPC weekly national evacuation report showed that 80 per cent of all the distribution took place at the top 20 high loading depots. It stated that the remaining 20 per cent of the evacuation took place at the other loading depots. The top 20 high loading depots that were used to evacuate the PMS are Pinnacle-Lekki which evacuated the highest volume of 40.25 million litres, AA Rano (22.43 million litres), AYM Shafa (19.23 million litres), Prudent (17.78 million litres), 11 PLC (17.78 million litres), Rainoil Lagos (15.93 million litres), and Avidor (15.63 million litres). It also supplied Fynefield with 12.39 million litres, Bull Strategic (12.2 million litres), Matrix (11.99 million litres), Koenamex (11.99 million litres), and Pinnacle (11.76 million litres).
