Queues: No need for panic buying of PMS — NNPC

The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) has cautioned
motorists not to engage in panic buying of Premium Motor Spirit
(PMS) also known as petrol, assuring of normalcy in the supply of
petroleum products.

Dr Kennie Obateru, the Group General Manager, Group Public
Affairs Division, who disclosed this to the News Agency of Nigeria
(NAN) in Abuja on Monday added that the long queues currently being
experienced were due to the curfew imposed in some states over the
EndSARS protests.

Obateru said that the curfew affected the free movement of
vehicles for the supply of products, but assured of normalcy in a
couple of days.

“The disruptions and curtailment of free flow of vehicular
movement occasioned by the EndSARS protests, the attendant curfews,
restrictions and vandalism affect the supply situation.

“Normalcy is expected to return to the petroleum products supply
chain in the next couple of days.

“There is no need for panic buying, be rest assured that supply
will soon return to the entire country,” he said. (NAN)
