According to the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited, it has two billion litres of Premium Motor Spirit on hand.
This is according to a statement published by Mr Adeyemi Adetunji, Executive Vice President, Downstream, NNPC Limited.
According to Adetunji, the stockpile of over two billion litres is sufficient for more than 30 days.
The NNPC, he said, has programmed vessels and trucks to unconstrained depots while massive load-outs from depots to states are closely monitored to ease fuel queues.
“The recent queues in Lagos are largely due to ongoing road infrastructure projects around Apapa and access road challenges in Lagos.
“The gridlock is easing out and NNPC Ltd has programmed vessels and trucks to unconstrained depots and massive load outs from depots to states are closely monitored,” he said.

“We are also working with industry stakeholders to ensure normalcy is returned as soon as possible,” he said.
