The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), Mr Ndu Ughamadu recently said in Abuja says fuel queues will `normalise’ by Friday and disappear by weekend.
He said that there was an increase in the number of incoming trucks of petrol into the FCT to curb the queues in the city.
“Dr Baru just today directed that more trucks be moved into the FCT to douse tension and increase supply. He met with NARTO and PTD and they assured that trucks would be closely monitored.
“He said Lagos should be maintained at 300 trucks but the actual figure coming into Abuja should be increased by 150.
“Port Harcourt refinery has also increased refining and so by tomorrow (Friday) queues should normalise and by weekend it would have disappeared,’’ Ughamadu said.
A check of some filling stations in Abuja revealed that the queues were getting longer across the city.
