NNPC assures of petroleum products supply nationwide

THE Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) has allayed fears of possible hiccups in petroleum products supply in parts of the country following an ultimatum issued by the National Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers (NUPENG) over a purported intervention by an arm of the security agencies in what the union viewed as purely labour matters involving a company and its workers in Delta State.

NNPC Group General Manager, Group Public Affairs Division, Mr Ndu Ughamadu, in a statement in Abuja on Thursday, said the corporation’s Group Managing Director, Dr Maikanti Baru and his Management team, were engaging the parties involved, saying the parties are close to resolving the issues.

Mr Ughamadu advised motorists and other consumers of petroleum products not to engage in panic buying as the NNPC Management was close to reaching an amicable resolution of the challenge.
