The Managing Director,
Petroleum Products Marketing Company (PPMC), Esther Nnamdi-Ogbue, said measures
were being taken to end fuel scarcity across the country.
According to her, about 400 intervention trucks are being used to service marketers.
This, she said, was to ensure fuel supply in their filling stations, especially in Abuja and Lagos, where they consume about 60 per cent of daily national consumption figures.
Nnamdi-ogbue further noted that there were trucks being loaded with fuel from Port Harcourt, Warri, Ogarra and Calabar as alternative sources for Lagos.
She assured that all efforts were being made to ensure that by weekend, all the problem of scarcity would be a thing of the past.
Nnamdi-Ogbue said efforts were being intensified to break the stronghold of corruption and all those engaged in sharp practices.
She noted that in most of the
major or strategic stations, products were sold 24-hour, adding that this will
help to bring about normalcy in the system.
