The company made this known via a statement issued by its spokesperson, Olufemi Soneye, on Tuesday, May 7, 2024.

Soneye noted: “In the filling stations monitored across several states, including Lagos and the FCT, the queues have since thinned out, a development that will keep improving daily in other states.
