The Managing Director of PPMC, Esther Nnamdi- Ogbue , who gave the hint in an interview with journalists in Abuja, said that each of the vessels contain 30,000 tonnes of PMS. “We have about eight vessels coming in, each of which ranges between 30 to 40 thousand metric tonnes capacity and these should be more than enough to ensure sufficiency
On Wednesday alone, over one thousand trucks were loaded and trucked out by the majors and PPMC. “We have about 400 intervention trucks being used right now so that we can service marketers that we need to ensure fuel supply in their filling stations, especially in Abuja and Lagos where they consume about 60 per cent of daily national consumption figures.
“We have people trucking out (fuel) from Port Harcourt, Warri, Ogarra, Calabar as alternative sources for Lagos. So, all efforts are being made to ensure that by weekend, all these would be a thing of the past.
“All efforts are being made, including fighting against every process being used to break the strong hold of corruption and all those engaged in sharp practices. Right now, more than 300 trucks should be arriving in Abuja and we are tracking them to ensure that they duly arrive here.
We have our staff all over, monitoring to make sure that the volumes brought in are actually discharged.
“In most of the major or strategic stations, they are selling fuel twenty-four hours, which is throughout the day so that the situation is effectively brought to normalcy. “One of the things that we are doing is that we are working alongside the oil majors and other downstream firms to collaborate in making sure that fuel queues disappear. We are working with IPMAN,” the PPMC boss assured.
