The Nigerian National Petroleum Company, NNPC, Limited says a hitch in the discharge operations of a couple of vessels has disrupted petrol supply.
On Friday, there were reports of petrol scarcity in some parts of Lagos and Abuja.
In a statement on Saturday, Olufemi Soneye, NNPC chief corporate communications officer, said NNPC is working with stakeholders to fix the challenge with petrol supply and distribution.
“The NNPC Ltd. wishes to state that the tightness in fuel supply and distribution witnessed in some parts of Lagos and the FCT is as a result of a hitch in the discharge operations of a couple of vessels,” Soneye said.
“The Company further states that it is working round the clock with all stakeholders to resolve the situation and restore normalcy in the operations.”
