The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited says 300 tanker trucks will supply Premium Motor Spirit, also known as petrol, to the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja between Tuesday and Wednesday.

The Group Managing Director of the NNPC, Mele Kyari, who spoke to journalists on the current fuel scarcity in the nation’s capital that has led to long vehicle queues at the filling stations, blamed the development on the recent Sallah holiday.had reported that fuel queues persisted in the FCT on Monday as filling stations struggled to control desperate drivers waiting to buy the Premium Motor Spirit at the official price.

One of the racketeers, who identified himself as Usman, said he stored fuel in several gallons, with the belief that fuel would be scarce at some point in the future. Speaking at the National Assembly in Abuja on Tuesday, Kyari said, “First of all, during the holiday, truck drivers could not present trucks at most of the depots and because of that we had some glitches around load-out from the depots. We have corrected this.
