As the growing queue of vehicles in the filling stations across the country continues, the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), has expressed surprise that there is still fuel scarcity after it disbursed 25,042,686 litres of petrol to 11 depots in two days.
According to statistics made available by the corporation, Suleja depot supplied a total of 7,178,613 litres on the 14th and 15th November this year, while Kaduna depot supplied 2,470,490 and Kano depot supplied 4,130,847 litres during the two days period alone.
The statistics also indicated that Mina depot supplied 224,986 litres, while Gusua depot supplied 2,311,951 litres, Satellite depot supplied 2,164,940 litres and Ilorin depot supplied 303,000 litres during the period.
Also, Ore depot supplied 110,989 litres, Ibadan depot supplied 766,007 litres, Gombe area supplied 3,662,893 litres and Aba depot supplied 917,970 litres.
Amid all these statistics, mixed reactions continue to trail the NNPC claim on availability of fuel. However, it was learnt that in Lagos on Monday, most petrol stations are still under lock and key, while others were selling for over 150 per litre while in Benue State, most filling stations are selling for N200 per litre and beyond.
