Mele Kyari, the Group Chief Executive Officer of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL), expressed optimism that the fuel queues plaguing the country will soon become a thing of the past.
In his interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today, Kyari assured Nigerians that the situation will not last beyond a day or two, and he did not expect queues to persist beyond Saturday.
Kyari emphasized that the primary issue with the petroleum system is the supply of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), commonly known as fuel.
He revealed that there are currently more than 810 million litres of petroleum available in depots, tanks, and fuel stations throughout the country.
This means that there is an abundant supply ready to be utilized.
Kyari explained that people panicked and rushed to fuel stations due to the uncertainty of pricing, but now that pricing is certain, they can return home knowing that the supply is sufficient.
