The Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA) has attributed the current queues at fuel stations in Abuja to the disruption of product distribution, and occasional flooding in Lokoja, Kogi State.
Major parts of the city have been submerged in water, thus grounding vehicular movements.
In a statement issued, on Thursday, in Abuja, the authority said the development has affected the distribution of petroleum products to the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) and environs.
However, it said efforts were ongoing to pass trucks via alternative routes.
“As part of measures to mitigate the situation, trucking via alternative routes is currently ongoing.
“The authority assures the public that there are sufficient petroleum products inland.
“Consequently, the general public is advised to avoid panic buying at fuel stations as the NMDPRA is working assiduously with relevant stakeholders and government agencies to ensure product availability across the country,” it said.
In the same context, it advised marketers against product hoardings, so as not to inflict hardship on Nigerians.
“The authority wishes to reiterate its commitment to Nigerians to ensure seamless supply and distribution of petroleum products nationwide.”
