Coronavirus: FG Allays Fears Over Disruption in Fuel Supply

The Federal Government has allayed fears over the potential disruption in fuel supply in the country due to the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic.

In a statement issued by the Ministry of Petroleum Resources, the government assured Nigerians that it has put in place measures to ensure the continuous supply of petroleum products to the country.

The statement noted that the government has been monitoring the situation closely and has taken steps to mitigate any potential disruptions to the fuel supply chain.

"We want to assure Nigerians that we are on top of the situation and are working closely with our partners in the industry to ensure that fuel supply is not disrupted," the statement said.

The government also urged Nigerians to remain calm and not to engage in panic buying of fuel, as there is no shortage of petroleum products in the country.

The statement added that the government is also working to ensure that the country's refineries are functioning at optimal levels to reduce dependence on imported fuel.

The coronavirus pandemic has caused widespread disruptions to global supply chains, including the fuel industry. However, the government is confident that it has put in place sufficient measures to ensure that fuel supply is not disrupted in Nigeria.

In related news, the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) has announced that it has increased its fuel stockpile to ensure that the country has enough fuel to meet demand.

The NNPC said that it has also put in place measures to prevent hoarding and smuggling of fuel, which could exacerbate the situation.

The government's assurance has been welcomed by Nigerians, who have been concerned about the potential disruption to fuel supply in the country.

"We are grateful to the government for taking steps to ensure that fuel supply is not disrupted," said a Lagos-based businessman. "We are confident that the government will do everything possible to ensure that we have enough fuel to meet our needs."
