NNPCL: Why there’re fuel queues

The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) has disclosed the reason for the recent fuel queues in Abuja and Lagos State.

The fuel queues started building up at filling stations in Abuja and Lagos on Friday, July 26, 2024, as motorists were seen lining up at various fuel stations, while some have remained shut.

Speaking on the development, the NNPCL, in a statement issued by its spokesperson, Olufemi Soneye, on Saturday, July 27, attributed the queues to a hitch in the discharge operations of some vessels.

NNPCL: Fuel queues caused by thunderstorms, normalcy’ll be restored

Soneye noted: “The NNPCL 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.

“The company is working round the clock with all stakeholders to resolve the situation and restore normalcy in the operations.”
