The NNPC in a release stated that in line with its drive to ensure zero
fuel queues ahead of the forthcoming yuletide and beyond, the
Corporation is working assiduously with its downstream subsidiary
company, the Pipelines and Products Marketing Company, PPMC and
other downstream players to consolidate the prevailing stability in the
supply and distribution of fuel nationwide.
“Apart from increasing the volume of products distributed to stations
across the country, inspection team from the PPMC have been
commissioned to go round our operational areas to ensure
compliance with laid down rules regarding loading and product
evacuation across board to eliminate hoarding and other vices
detrimental to the free flow of products,’’ NNPC said.
The Corporation noted that the initiative to ensure zero fuel queues
has been bolstered with the approval by the Federal Government for
the immediate payment of N413 billion to oil marketers as
outstanding payment for subsidy claims.
“It is our belief that with the outstanding payment due to Oil
Marketers now assured, the marketers and other downstream players
will join hands with the NNPC to guarantee that the nation remains
wet with petroleum products all year round.
