However, the state-owned company and oil marketers have said that the scarcity is artificial and the public should desist from panic buying.

“We assure you that NNPC Limited is committed to ensuring a ceaseless supply of products,” the statement read. “The company sincerely regrets any inconvenience this development may have caused.”
According to the NNPC, the continued patronage of the people is appreciated and called for their support, and understanding during this time of change and growth.
