The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC) has urged Nigerians to disregard rumours of any impending scarcity of the product in the country.
NNPC said it has sufficient stock of premium motor spirit (PMS) to meet citizens' needs. This was contained in a statement issued on Wednesday by NNPC Spokeman, Garba Deen Muhammad, appealing to members of the public to refrain from "panic buying" of PMS, better known as petrol.
"The NNPC Ltd. wishes to assure the public that the Company has sufficient PMS stock to meet the needs of Nigerians," the statement reads. "The public is, therefore, advised not to engage in panic buying of petrol; and to ignore all rumours that may suggest otherwise. "In line with the existing laws of the land, NNPC Ltd. is deeply committed to ensuring energy security for the country," he added.
