The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, (NNPC) has assured
petroleum products consumers not to panic as it holds 2.6billion litres
of petrol and 90,000 metric tonnes of Kerosene.
It said the holding is expected to last 52 days, assuming no single drop of products is imported from now.
This
comes even as Naija News earlier reported that the Depot and Petroleum
Products Marketers Association of Nigeria (DAPPMAN) suspended its
earlier directive to commence shutdown of depots across the country from
loading petroleum products effective from 12-midnight today (Monday).
NNPC
spokesman Mr. Ndu Ughamadu, in a release, early today in Abuja said the
purported shut down of operations by DAPPMAN would not affect products
distribution as NNPC had ordered all its depots across the country and
those of bulk purchase marketers it recently entered agreements with to
undertake a 24 hour operations to avert any shortages in products
distribution in the country.
