The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC Ltd) says it has two billion liters of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) In stock.
This is contained in a statement issued by Mr. Adeyemi Adetunji, Executive Vice President, Downstream, NNPC Limited.
Adetunji said the stock of over two billion liters is equivalent to over 30 days of sufficiency.
The NNPC, he said, has programmed vessels and trucks to unconstrained depots while massive loadouts from depots to states are closely monitored to ease fuel queues.
“The recent queues in Lagos are largely due to ongoing road infrastructure projects around Apapa and access road challenges in Lagos.
