The Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Ltd has identified the reasons behind the recent fuel queues observed in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) and various parts of Nigeria. According to a statement released on Monday, NNPC attributed the queues to disruptions in the ship-to-ship transfer of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), also known as petrol, caused by a recent thunderstorm. This weather event affected the transfer between Mother Vessels and Daughter Vessels, as well as berthing at jetties, truck load-outs, and the transportation of products to filling stations, thereby disrupting station supply logistics.

NNPC also highlighted compliance with Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NIMET) regulations, which prohibit the loading of petroleum products during rainstorms and lightning due to their flammability. Deviations from these safety regulations could pose significant risks to trucks, filling stations, and human lives.

Furthermore, NNPC noted that flooding on truck routes exacerbated the situation, hindering the movement of PMS from coastal corridors to Abuja, the Federal Capital.

While urging motorists to refrain from panic buying and hoarding fuel, NNPC assured the public that it is collaborating with relevant stakeholders to address the logistical challenges. The company reported that loading activities have resumed in affected areas, expressing optimism that the situation will improve in the coming days and normal supply operations will be restored.
