Fuel Queues Disappear In Abuja

Category: Nigeria News

The queues for Premium Motor Spirit, popularly called petrol, cleared suddenly in most parts of Abuja, Niger, Nasarawa and other states on Wednesday, following the release of about 67 million litres of PMS by the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited to marketers.

Virtually all the major filling stations that used to have heavy queues before, were seen without queues on Wednesday, as most of them dispensed petrol to the cars sighted in their various outlets.

This came as the NNPC revealed that some of its 67 million litres daily supply of PMS was not only smuggled by trucks to neighboring countries but through marine vessels.
