The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited says the country will not experience petrol scarcity in December and beyond as it has made adequate arrangements for supply.
The Chief Financial Officer of NNPC Limited, Umar Ajia revealed this in Abuja on Monday when he appeared before an ad hoc committee of the House of Representatives on fuel subsidy regime in Nigeria.
Ajia said that the company has put in place adequate measures to prevent petrol scarcity in the country, even after the 2023 general election.
The Chairman of the Committee, Rep. Ibrahim Al-Mustapha, also a member of the All Progressives Congress in Sokoto, said that there was a need for an upward review of petrol price in Nigeria in-line with the global price.
Al-Mustapha said that petrol was being sold for five hundred and thirty-six naira per liter in Niger Republic, five hundred and seventy-seven naira per liter in Mali and three hundred and eighty-nine naira per liter in Benin Republic.
