According to DAILY TRUST, Dr. Maikanti Baru, The Group Managing Director (GMD) of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), has assured Nigerians that the time of fuel scarcity is gone.
According to press, receiving Dr. Baru as "Man of the Year" award from Nigeria NewsDirect newspaper, he said the corporation learned a great lesson during the recent fuel scarcity.
"We have actualized the lessons learned, part of which is to ensure that at any point in time, there should be sufficient products available for distribution across the country.
"Most of our PPMC depots in Ejigbo, Mosinmi, Ibadan and other parts of the nation have sufficient products for distribution now.
"NNPC is discussing with security operatives to stop the smuggling of petroleum products across our borders.
"We are working alongside with them to ensure the safety of our pipelines because we still have some areas where vandals still disrupt our pipelines," he said and dedicated the award to all staff of the corporation.
Dr. Diran Fawibe, Chairman, International Energy Services, urged NNPC to make sure that the nation's refineries worked to their full capacities.
According to Fawibe, the oil and gas sector is a major sustainer of the nation's economy.
Dr. Samuel Ibiyemi, Publisher, Nigeria NewsDirect, said the award was in recognition of the good work of distinguished Nigerians to the country's growth.
