\u00a0The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC, has assured of steady fuel supply following the pledge by the Nigerian Association of Road Transport Owners (NARTO) to return to work.<\/p>\n

This was contained in a statement by Dr Levi Ajuonuma, the Group General Manager, Public Affairs Division of the NNPC, yesterday, in Abuja.<\/p>\n

The statement was issued due to a strike by NARTO on Thursday to press the Petroleum Products Pricing Regulatory Agency (PPPRA) for a raise in its freight rate.<\/p>\n

The strike resulted in panic buying and scarcity.<\/p>\n

Ajuonuma urged Nigerians to shun panic buying and hoarding of the product as there was enough supply.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith this development, we want to urge members of the public to shun panic buying and hoarding of petroleum products as there is no fear of scarcity anymore.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe NNPC has enough products to go round and there is no threat whatsoever to the supply chain to warrant fear, panic buying or hoarding,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He noted that timely intervention by the Federal Government and all the relevant ministries and parastatals led to the restoration of service by NARTO.<\/p>\n

\u201cNARTO will call off its withdrawal of service currently embarked upon forthwith, pending the final resolution of the matter\u201d, he quoted a communiqu\u00e9 as saying.<\/p>\n

The communique was issued at the end of the meeting between NARTO and the Ministers of Petroleum Resources, Mrs Diezani Alison-Madueke, Labour and Productivity, Mr Emeka Wogu, the NNPC and\u00a0 PPPRA.<\/p>\n

He said that the issue of freight rate increase was referred to a committee made up of PPPRA and NARTO, to work out the technical details required for resolving the matter within one week.<\/p>\n

NAN reports that motorists in Abuja and environs have been in long queues at filling stations since the strike began<\/p>\n
