In the face of queues building up at fuel stations in the nation’s commercial capital, the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Limited has said it was making efforts to end petrol scarcity in Lagos and its environs.
Chief Corporate Communications Officer, NNPC Limited, Olufemi Soneye, spoke of the efforts the corporations had been making to end scarcity.
He stated: “The NNPC Limited wishes to inform the general public that the tightness in Premium Motor Spirit, PMS, supply witnessed in some filling stations in Lagos was a result of an issue in one of the depots in the area.
