The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) has rolled out plans to stop the lingering fuel scarcity in the country.soyrce reports that the group executive director, downstream of the NNPC, Rabiu Bello, after a closed door meeting with Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo at the presidential villa on April 13, outlined plans to resolve the lingering fuel crisis. Bello, who apologised to Nigerians for the fuel crisis which has crippled socio-economic activities in the country for the past few weeks, blamed the development of supply issues. “It is supply issues that have been causing the problem adding that the corporation is doing everything possible to end the crisis. The objective is to brief you on the current situation of the petroleum products scarcity and queues all over the country. Let us start by tendering our apology and tell the people that we are really doing the right thing. We have been working very hard. It is supply issues that have been causing this problem but we are doing everything possible to end it. “What we are doing now is it ensure that we get necessary supplies into the country through imports as well as through our refineries. As we speak today, we have five vessels serving products all over the country. And not only in Lagos, but also Port Harcourt, Warri and Calabar. Apart from these vessels discharging, we also have private sector people that imported and are discharging currently. At least 120 million litters. In moving the product out into the hinterland, we have a little option because most of the pipelines are still not working,” he said. Bello noted that since the pipelines are not working, the cooperation is depending on about 100% trucking to the hinterlands. He said going forward, NNPC plans to make sure ensure that it gives what is more than required in the country. “The total requirement for the whole country is about 1300 trucks. But our plan is to make at least 1500 trucks available everyday. We want to make sure that we sustain the market in a very short time. You can see that Lagos is almost cleared. Abuja is getting better. Other places will follow. “We were pushing 960 trucks into the cities but what was loading out of the depots was much more than that. We are now in a position to say that each state demands have been captured. We know their needs and we are trying to ensure that all states are supplied. We are ready to be telling everybody in the country what we are giving to every state everyday,” he said. The group executive director applauded state governors for making sure the petroleum products that arrived their states are evenly distributed.

They are helping with task forces to ensure that these products that arrived the states are appropriately distributed. We are trying to ensure that this happens and happens quickly,” Bello said. Nigerians are very hopeful that the lingering fuel crisis would soon come to a permanent end as the NNPC announced the reopening of the Port Harcourt refinery where a daily production of five million litres of petrol would be made. Garuba Deen Mohammed, the group general manager, public affairs of the NNPC and Justine Ezeala, the executive director, supply and distribution, on April 12, in an address hinted that the refinery came back on stream last week and is now very efficient. https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=1897165384466730160#editor/target=post;postID=2443493815327531190
