Avoid Panic Buying Of Petrol — NNPC Tells Motorists

The Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Limited has called on motorists to shun the panic buying of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) also known as petrol as queues have thinned out in filling stations.

Gatekeepers News reports that this was contained in a statement by the NNPC Chief Corporate Communications Officer, Olufemi Soneye, on Tuesday, May 7.

The statement reads: “As the nationwide supply and distribution of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), also known as petrol, continue to improve, the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Limited has once again called on motorists to shun panic buying of the product.

“In filling stations monitored across several states, including Lagos and the FCT, the queues have since thinned out, a development that will keep improving daily in other States.

“The company wishes to state that at the moment, it has over 1.5 billion litres stock of PMS, which is equivalent to over 30 days sufficiency.

“The NNPC Ltd. is also collaborating with relevant downstream agencies, such as the Nigeran Midstream & Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA), labour unions in the sector and security operatives, to address hoarding and other unwholesome practices.”
