The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC Ltd.) says the tightness in fuel supply and distribution is caused by a hitch in the discharge operations of a couple of vessels.
Olufemi Soneye, the chief corporate communications officer, NNPC Ltd., made this known on Saturday in a statement while reacting to the current queues and scarcity being witnessed in some parts of Lagos and the Federal Capital Territory.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that queues started building up at fuel stations in Abuja on Friday, as motorists were seen lining up at various fuel stations, while some have remained shut.
