The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC, has advised motorists in the country against panic buy, as it assured of “adequate sufficiency in products”.
This is coming after a truck in the Suleja Depot was razed down by fire while evacuating products meant to be emptied into a slop tank.
The company explained that the inferno, which was swiftly attended to by the Niger State Fire Service Officials, will not affect products supply across the country.
