Nigerian’s NNPC pledged that despite challenges in the downstream petroleum sector, petroleum products would continue to be available in all parts of the country, according to NAN, Nigeria’s state news agency. The pledge was made by Maikanti Baru, NNPC Group Managing Director, while speaking to the company’s downstream subsidiaries Nigerian Products Marketing Company (NPMC) and the Nigerian Pipelines and Storage Company (NPSC).
In a statement by Ndu Ughamadu, the Group General Manager, Group Public Affairs Division, Baru said the two companies had fared well given the circumstances in which they found themselves.
He said amidst upheavals in products pricing and the intrigues among players in the industry, the companies ensured an unimpeded petroleum products supply into the market. “The NPMC and NPSC are the sole vehicles through which the NNPC is currently satisfying its obligation of being the supplier of last resort to the nation. We have ensured that we sustain the steady supply of petroleum products across the country and we are doing this onerous task with integrity,” Baru said.
NNPC has taken steps to resuscitate some of its critical pipelines and depots such as the Atlas Cove–Mosimi Depot Pipeline, Port Harcourt Refinery–Aba Depot Pipeline, Kaduna–Kano Pipeline and the Kano Depot which have enhanced distribution efficiency. Baru said efforts were ongoing to revamp and re-commission other critical pipelines and depots across the country.
