It stated that 30 vessels were expected to deliver 2.3 billion litres of petrol to the country till the end of this month.
“NNPC as the supplier of last resort has continued to sustain adequate petroleum products supply and distribution to the nation despite challenges associated with the unending waves of pipeline vandalism, product theft and cross-border smuggling of PMS.
“It is also to recertify and ensure release of in-country PMS stock, as well as enhanced distribution,” the company said.
The NNPC disclosed that plans were underway to enhance Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) supply and distribution.
