SEE THE REASON WHY FUEL SCARCITY HITS LAGOS

Long queues have resurfaced in some petrol stations in Lagos and its environs as almost all the petrol stations that were selling the products were filled while many remained under lock and key. In a statement signed by the Group General Manager, Group Public Affairs, NNPC, Mr. Ohi Alegbe, on Tuesday, NNPC stated that the noticeable queues in some petrol stations in Lagos were attributable to panic buying caused by reduced truck-out of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) from depots in Apapa area of Lagos due to the gridlock created by the ongoing road construction in Apapa. The corporation urged marketers affected by the Apapa road construction to load their petroleum products from its inland depot in Mosimi so as to support the “zero tolerance to fuel queues” policy across the country. It appealed to marketers to immediately commence loading from the PPMC Mosimi depot to cover for the shortfall from Apapa.
