PPMC takes extra measures to quell current fuel scarcity

In response to the current fuel scarcity
situation, the management of PPMC in line with the honourable minister of state for petroleum, Dr. Ibe Kachikwu’s effort to
provide an effective intervention, has
flooded Abuja with 31 high capacity trucks; each with approximately 60,000 litres.
Another 25 is expected tomorrow.
The 31intervention trucks that have arrived the city of Abuja have been deployed to areas of need. This is made possible by reason of the partnership between NNPC Retail and
Capital Oil and Gas. In addition, 150 trucks have been provided by A. A. Rano, Azman, and Rahamaniyya.
According to the MD, PPMC Mrs. Esther
Nnamdi-Ogbue, these interventionist efforts will continue until the queues dissipate.
Furthermore, despite not being a regulator
PPMC has made an extra effort to curb the effect of the fuel crisis on the general
public by deploying staff to petrol stations
across Abuja for round-the-clock
monitoring.
It is believed that with these measures,
normalcy will return to Abuja and its
environs in no time. Motorists are
therefore advised for the umpteenth time
not to engage in panic buying as this will
encourage the activities of hoarders. They
are also advised to be vigilant and to report any observed sharp practices and other identified areas of need.
We have obtained PPMC’s Twitter and
Facebook accounts for citizens’ reportage
and eye witness accounts as follows:
