The Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Limited has assured that it will resolve the issue surrounding fuel scarcity within the next one week.
It has also apologised to Nigerians for the over three months of pains caused by the nationwide fuel scarcity.
The Group CEO, NNPCL, Mele Kyari, who spoke during an interview on Channels Television’s special election programme The 2023 Verdict, assured the public that the “glitch” will be resolved to everyone’s relief.
the NNPC boss however said the he is not promising that there would be zero queues within the next one week adding that he cannot guarantee that because a number of things are out of our control.
The NNPC boss explained that market forces will determine how quickly the situation is resolved, but in his view, the country is going to see substantial and relative ease in the next one week compared to the situation at present.
He gave an assurance that the NNPC will bring succour and relief to the Nigerian people, saying no one orchestrated the fuel scarcity.
According to Kyari, the NNPC has been on top of the situation and the way to bring the crisis under control is by increasing supply from the 63 million litres per day as of January.
On the topic of Nigeria’s scarcity in the midst of an abundance of crude product, the NNPC chief executive alluded to the global normalcy of fuel queues as Nigeria charts its way towards a return to local refining.
