The Major Energies Marketers Association of Nigeria (MEMAN) says it is expects over 300 million litres of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) from eight vessels to ease petrol scarcity in Lagos and other parts of the country this week.
MEMAN Chairman, Mr Huub Stokman, said this while addressing newsmen in Lagos on Tuesday.
He said the organisation was actively coordinating with its members in Apapa and other locations to ensure that petrol is loaded and distributed to retail outlets safely and quickly.
According to him, MEMAN is working closely with the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA) and other stakeholders to eliminate fuel queues and restore stability, adding that the Nigerian Association of Road Transport Owners (NARTO) and the Petroleum Tanker Drivers (PTD) are also providing support.
Stokman said MEMAN is extending depot loading time to ensure that loading goes unhindered including tomorrow the 1st of May 2024 and that select retail outlets would be open for longer hours to ensure continuous service.
