NNPC Apologizes To Nigerians, Assures Fuel Scarcity Will Ease In One Week
The Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Limited has apologised to Nigerians for the over three months of distress fueled by the nationwide fuel scarcity.
The Group CEO, NNPCL, Mele Kyari, on Tuesday, assured the public that the “glitch” will be fixed to everyone’s relief.
“I apologise for the situation. On behalf of all of us, the stakeholders in the oil and gas industry. Definitely, not surely exclusive. Having said this, it is unfortunate. It’s a glitch – we are responsible to [resolve] this glitch. We will resolve this,” he said.
“I’m not saying that you’re going to have zero queues within the next one week,” he further said. “No, I can’t guarantee that because a number of things are out of our control.”
The NNPC boss added that market forces will determine how fast the situation is sorted, however, in his view, the country is going to see substantial and relative changes in the next one week compared to the situation at present.
He assured that the NNPC will bring ease and relief to the Nigerian people, saying no one orchestrated the fuel scarcity.
“We have no benefit in doing this. We are families. We are members and part of this community. We are very proud of this country.
“We would like this country to prosper. We don’t want Nigerians to suffer and of course as a matter of condition, we don’t think that anyone should go through this thing,” he said.
