The fuel
scarcity currently being experienced in the country is set to be a thing of the
past as the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation announced on Wednesday that
it
was expecting up to five ships, each filled with 50 million litres of petrol
in the next three days. In addition, the corporation disclosed that its
downstream subsidiary, the Nigerian Products Marketing Company, had increased
the number of trucks that move petrol from its depots to 1,300 per day in order
to ensure hitch free distribution and supply.
It will be
recalled that last week, the Federal Government directed the Minister of
Petroleum Resources, Ibe Kachikwu, to ensure that queues for petrol were
cleared within a week.
