The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC has revealed the staggering daily output being produced by Kaduna Refining and Petrochemical Company in a renewed effort to alleviate the suffering of Nigerians.
According to a release by the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC, yesterday, Kaduna Refining and Petrochemical Company, KRPC, will be producing a staggering 3.2 million litres of petrol daily, from an initial production of 1.5 million litres recorded over the weekend.
That's an outstanding improvement from previous production statistics. This increased output will no doubt improve the lives of Nigerians and make things better. It would ensure that the queues at fuel stations across the country would ease off soon.
Also, it has been revealed that 914 truckloads of fuel have been dispatched to petrol stations across the country, while 1,939 trucks, conveying 64.04 million litres of the products, have been evacuated from its coastal depots to inland depots in the country. This is done in an effort to arrest the lingering fuel crisis that has hit the nation.
Furthermore, the NNPC also disclosed that less than 48 hours after the Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Dr. Ibe Kachikwu, ordered staff of the NNPC to intervene in the monitoring of fuel distribution and retail system at filling stations across the country, the initiative has started yielding positive results in Abuja and environs.
It explained that the situation at most filling stations visited in Abuja remains calm and orderly as the staff of the corporation helped to fast-track the process of dispensing fuel to motorists.
Speaking shortly after visiting some retail outlets within Abuja’s Central Area, Group Executive Director, Commercial & Investment of the NNPC, Mr. Babatunde Adeniran explained that so far, the exercise has recorded some success.
He said: “Our staff are putting in all their best to ensure that orderliness is restored in most of the filling stations. They are also there to ensure that nobody creates a situation that will hamper the discharge of products to ordinary Nigerians. So far, they are doing well in this regard.”
