The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) says the company’s debt to petrol suppliers is responsible for the fuel queues across the country.
The NNPCL made this known via a statement issued by its spokesperson, Olufemi Soneye, on Sunday, September 1, 2024.
Soneye noted that debt poses a threat to the sustainability of fuel supply, adding, however, that the company was working with government agencies to ensure a consistent supply of petrol in Nigeria.
