The Group Managing Director of NNPC Limited Mele Kyari has assured that the company is putting extreme measures in place to contain the current fuel crisis in the country.
He said with the efforts so far made, there is the hope that there will be significant relief, if not the elimination of the current situation within the next one week.
He said: “We know that logistics is a major component of electoral duties. NNPC has always supported INEC, not in this direct form, but in making sure that fuel is made available to all vehicles that are involved in the electoral process.
“In today’s very different situation, it is not just an honor to NNPC, It’s also a challenge to us, to come into the equation in making sure that we have a stable political system in our country and we’ll be happy to contribute to this.
“Having said this chairman, we’re the largest downstream company in the country today. Six months ago, it was not so but today we have acquired huge assets since our incorporation into a limited liability company and we have spread across the country.
“That is not to say that we’re in every city and every town, it is possible that there may be some locations where we may not be present.
“We’ll work with your logistic team to identify those areas where we may not have a presence so that we can bring in other marketing companies into the conversation so that the products are made available to all the 100,000 vehicles that you have indicated.”
