NIGERIAN NATIONAL PETROLEUM LIMITED STRUGGLE TO EVACUATE ADULTERATED FUEL, MAINTAIN ADEQUATE SUPPLY

The Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority, NMDPRA, on Monday, maintained silence on the situation of fuel distribution, as motorists struggled to buy premium motor spirit, PMS.

The Nigerian National Petroleum Company, NNPC, Limited on Monday relocated key management staff to Lagos in search of sustainable solutions to evacuate adulterated fuel and maintain adequate supply. NNPC Limited had admitted that four PMS cargoes imported by four consortia of its direct sale, direct purchase, DSDP, had imported adulterated fuel into the country leading to petrol scarcity across the country.
