Nigeria - Petrol loading at depots in Lagos has continued to drop following a significant reduction in the volume of the product being imported in recent times, Punch reports.
However, the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation said on Thursday that its downstream subsidiary, Pipelines and Products Marketing Company, had 1.2 billion litres of petrol in stock.
In Lagos, Ogun, Oyo and neighbouring states, there were queues at some filling stations selling petrol on Thursday; but the NNPC, in its statement, said the 1.2 billion litres would be sufficient for 31 days going by the 40-million-litre daily consumption figure of the product in the country.
A visit by one of our correspondents to Apapa revealed a chaotic situation as petrol tankers were seen parked on both sides of the road with no hope of getting the product. This resulted in gridlock in the area.
