The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) has announced that Kaduna Refining and Petrochemical Company (KRPC) has begun daily production of 3.2 million litres of petrol.
In a statement signed by MR Ohi Alegbe, the Group General Manager, Group Public Affairs Division, NNPC said “The injection of this volume into the system will significantly impact ongoing special intervention efforts designed to bring relief to motorists across the country.”
The statement further explained that the deployment of NNPC staff to filling stations across the country has started yielding positive results.
According to the statement, the Group Executive Director, Commercial and Investment of the NNPC, Dr. Babatunde Adeniran who visited some outlet in Abuja said “Our staffs 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.
“At one of the filling stations in Asokoro today, the police came to assist us to clear out some motorists trying to jump the queue. That is most commendable.
“I hope Nigerians can have the spirit of orderliness, the spirit of cohesion and the spirit of responsibility in order to help this process.”
