NNPCL Chief Communications Officer, Olufemi Soneye who gave the assurance, added that the company currently has an availability of products exceeding 1.5 billion litres, which can last for at least 30 days.
“However, as you know, overcoming such disruptions typically requires double the amount of time to return to normal operations,”
“The lines will be cleared out between today and tomorrow”.
The National Vice President of the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (lPMAN), Hammed Fashola expressed hope that the queues in Lagos and Ogun would ease off this week, relying on the words of the NNPCL.
Fashola, however, stated that the queues in Abuja might tarry a bit due to the distance to Lagos.
“The information available to us from the NNPCL was that there was a logistics problem, and when that happens, it will disrupt the supply chain.”
“That might be a delay in the movement of ships from the mother vessel to the daughter vessel before it gets to the depot tanks.”
“It might take time before it can ease off in Abuja, considering the distance to Lagos and the bad roads; Lagos might be calm this new week,” Fashola assured.
