NNPC is further intensifying efforts to resolve distribution hitches being experienced in some parts of the country due to logistics issues, the statement added.

It said, “To this effect, NNPC is engaging depot operators to load product round the clock to accelerate the restoration of normal distribution.

“NNPC has also engaged the services of government security agencies to ensure that all products loaded get to the right destination.”

The company urged Nigerians to continue to be patient as it strived to restore the situation to normalcy.

The long queues at the filling stations across the country have refused to go away after three weeks.

The distribution of petrol was disrupted when it was discovered that adulterated products were in circulation some weeks ago.
