NNPC boss, Maikanti speaks on Nigerians buying fuel above N145
Petroleum Corporation, NNPC, has cautioned Nigerians against buying
petrol above government approved price of N145 from filling stations.
Speaking on the sidelines of a function in Lagos on Thursday, Maikanti
said there was no shortage of petroleum products, as such, people
should buy at the right price.
The NNPC boss said the Corporation has sanitised the supply and
distribution of petroleum products across the country.
"We have brought back sanity in the fuel supply system. We have over
2.1 billion litres of petrol in-tank at the moment and people should
be calm and be sure that the right quantity is given to them at the
filling station at N145 per litre that the government has approved to
be the sale price of PMS," he said.
Maikanti's call was coming at a time when the Department of Petroleum
Resources (DPR), had sealed a petrol station affiliated to the
downstream petroleum sector retail arm of the Nigerian National
Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) for selling fuel at N181 per litre.
The affected fuel station, which is located along the Kashim Ibrahim
Way in Wuse 2 District of Abuja, had reportedly been under dispensing
petrol to its customers.
