In response to the ongoing fuel scarcity in Nigeria, NNPC Ltd. has announced an extension of operating hours at its fuel stations nationwide.
This decision aims to mitigate the impact of the current crisis and ensure that more Nigerians can access fuel.
The scarcity has led to long queues and widespread disruptions, prompting NNPC Ltd. to take immediate action to alleviate the situation. By extending the hours of operation, the company hopes to reduce waiting times and provide a more consistent supply of fuel to consumers.
NNPC fuel stations will now operate for longer hours, including late evenings, to accommodate more customers and ease the pressure on existing supplies. The company is ramping up efforts to ensure a steady flow of fuel to its stations across the country. This includes increasing the frequency of deliveries and enhancing logistics to avoid further shortages.
NNPC Ltd. is working closely with regulatory authorities to monitor the situation and ensure compliance with the extended operating hours and other measures aimed at alleviating the crisis.
The company has launched a campaign to inform the public about the extended hours and provide updates on fuel availability. This initiative aims to reduce panic buying and reassure citizens that steps are being taken to address the scarcity.
