Stations will operate longer hours to aid supply

The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) said fuel stations are to operate longer hours for supply and distribution of the Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) also known as petrol.
It called on fuel stations to aid availability of the product in view of the current tight situation.
The NNPCL said the turnaround period of PMS trucking is also elongated to ease the situation being witnessed.
The Executive Vice President, Downstream, Dapo Segun stated this on Monday in Abuja during a joint inspection of stations by the officials of NNPCL and Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA).
He disclosed that adverse weather conditions, including rainstorm and lightning, had also affected berthing at jetties, truck load-outs and transportation of products to filling stations, causing a disruption in station supply logistics.
