Dr Maikanti Baru, the Group Managing Director(GMD) of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) has promised Nigerians sufficient supply of petroleum products during and after the Christmas and New Year celebrations.
He said that the corporation was set to import one billion litres of petroleum at the end of December before going back to the normal 30 days sufficiency.
“We have redoubled our supply to the country at the time the rumor of fuel scarcity started,
“We have 30 days sufficiency of petroleum and have to put in extra supply over the usual supply to about 700 trucks daily supply.
“That will amount to between 27 million litres and 30 million litres,’’ he said.
“We thank God that they had withdrawn their strike and supply of fuel products has been restored in Abuja and other parts of the country.
“We guarantee that there was enough petrol to go round, and the DPR is out to seal stations and marketers hoarding the products.
“Those hoarding will have their products given away to users without payment,” he said.
