The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) has enjoined motorists in Abuja and its environs not to engage in any panic buying of petroleum products.
It revealed that it has 1.3 billion litres stock of PMS, otherwise called petrol, which is sufficient to serve the nation for more than 38 days.
The corporation, in a statement, said the development came on the heels of reports that some motorists have begun panic buying of petrol, following rumours that the government is about to increase the pump price of the product from N145 per litre.
“NNPC wishes to assure Nigerians that there is no iota of truth in the rumour that government is scheduled to adjust pump price of petrol.
“Indeed, with the resumption of production by the corporation’s three refineries in Kaduna, Port Harcourt and Warri, complemented by imports, there is enough stock of PMS, Automotive Gas Oil (AGO), diesel and kerosene”,the statement added.
