The Major Energies Marketers Association of Nigeria (MEMAN) is set to ease the nation’s fuel scarcity by bringing in over 300 million litres of fuel through eight vessels.
During a press briefing, Chairman Huub Stokman announced this initiative to address the ongoing fuel scarcity crisis.
Concerns have risen as fuel queues persist, with motorists enduring long waits at filling stations.
Expressing empathy for Nigerians facing frustration and hardship, Stokman emphasized that MEMAN’s priority, along with other stakeholders, is to restore stability in fuel supply.
Stokman stated, “Our foremost goal as MEMAN is to ensure prompt fuel supply across Nigeria. We reassure the public of an ample supply of PMS.”
He revealed plans to receive over 300 million litres of fuel this week, exceeding the usual supply levels. Loading times at depots will be extended to facilitate quick distribution.
Stokman highlighted the cooperation of partners in the supply chain, including NARTO and PTDs, to ensure swift and safe product delivery to retail outlets.
Independent marketers have also been allocated additional PMS to ease the scarcity, with an assurance that prices will remain unchanged.
Attributing the current situation to logistical challenges like adverse weather conditions, Stokman expressed optimism for improvement in the coming days.
He stated, “While external factors have contributed to the scarcity, we anticipate significant improvement soon. Based on available data, we expect progress within the week.”
