The Nigerian National Petroleum
Corporation (NNPC) on Wednesday
apologized to Nigerians over the fuel
scarcity situation in the country.

According to Vanguard, the
organisation also revealed that it has
entered into a partnership with
security agencies in the country to
assist in the monitoring of fuel
supply across the country.

A representative from NNPC told
newsmen, “We must all make sure
that petroleum products get across to
Nigerians at the regulated price
especially as the yuletide season
approaches. We have enough
products and we want to plead with
the Petroleum Tanker Drivers (PTDs)
not to be involved in the diversion of
petroleum products in order to avoid
causing untold hardship to
motorists.”

Managing Director of the Pipelines
and Products Marketing Company,
Esther Nnamdi-Ogbue also revealed,
“We have invited the EFCC and DSS
to join us in this campaign of
monitoring the movement of
petroleum products and they have
our mandate to sanction any errant
marketer. Enough is enough.”
