Long petrol queues have surfaced in parts of Abuja on Monday evening and intensified on Tuesday morning.

The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation has however, responded in a tweet on Tuesday morning that it had enough products to last the country for about 60 days and there was therefore, no need for panic buying.

Recall that the vandalism of petrol trucks by angry protesters forced oil marketers to temporarily suspend the movement of petroleum products, a development which warranted disruptions in supply.

The tweet by the NNPC reads; “There is no need for panic-buying, rest assured that the NNPC has over two billion litres of Premium Motor Spirit in stock to guarantee steady supply and at least 60-day-product supply sufficiency".
