Petrol supply challenges facing the country entered its third week on Sunday with marketers remaining upbeat about the situation following the release of more volumes by NNPC Limited.

Checks by Vanguard showed that while the length of queues at some of the filling stations opened to motorists in Abuja has reduced significantly, the situation in Lagos remains unresolved.

Chief Ukadike said independent marketers who had not received any product for weeks were now beginning to load especially at the coastal depots in Calabar, Port Harcourt and Warri. “Yes, product has come and it is being distributed but like I said earlier in interview with Vanguard, since our pipelines are not working, product will be distributed through daughter vessels to coastal depots where marketers can pick from. Trucks are made to travel to between 500km to 1,000km to deliver products.
