NNPCL: Why there’re fuel queues in Lagos

The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) has attributed the insufficient supply of Premium Motor Spirit, otherwise known as petrol, to some filling stations in Lagos State to an issue at one of its depots in the state.

The NNPCL spokesman, Olufemi Soneye, made this known in a statement on Friday, April 5, 2024.

There was a resurgence of fuel queues in parts of Lagos as supply decreased.

NNPCL: We didn’t reduce fuel price

Motorists across filling stations in various parts of the state, including Ikorodu Road, Bariga, Anthony, Mayland, Oyingbo, and Ogba encountered long queues of vehicles.

Other areas include Ikeja, Alausa, Oba Akran, Surulere, and Victoria Island.

However, Soneye said NNPCL’s retail arm had resolved the issue, adding that starting from Saturday, April 6, normalcy would return to the affected areas.

He urged motorists in Lagos to refrain from panic buying of petrol, emphasising that efforts were underway to ensure adequate supply of petroleum products in the state.
