Fuel distribution disrupted by truck drivers who travelled to vote: NMDPRA
The Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA) is working with other stakeholders to mitigate the slight tightness experienced in petrol distribution.
NMDPRA chief executive Farouk Ahmed disclosed this in a statement on Sunday.
According to him, operations in loading depots have fully resumed following the restriction of movements during the February 25 presidential and federal parliamentary elections, which necessitated truck drivers to travel to exercise their civic duty.
The chief executive said the public should note that the current stock sufficiency stood at 35.39 days for petrol, 34.86 days for diesel and 31.36 days for aviation turbine kerosene.
“The authority continues to strive towards guaranteeing supply and distribution reliability nationwide and strongly advises against panic buying,” he explained.
