The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited has said a total of 339 million litres of petrol was distributed to 63 depots across the country in seven days.
NNPCL and the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority on Monday data shows that the products were sent out between February 25 and March 3.
According to Weekly National PMS Evacuation & Dispatch report, 339 million litres of petrol were distributed across the states, with Lagos getting the lion’s share of 1.73 billion litres.
Delta State got 610 million litres; Oyo-531 million litres and Ogun-441 million litres to top the list of states that got petrol during this period.
With a daily average distribution of about 48 million litres, and 63 million daily average, NNPCL and NMDPRA, said 79 per cent of all evacuation took place at the top 25 top loading depots with minimum evacuation of 5 million litres.
It would be recalled that the Group Chief Executive Officer of NNPCL, Mele Kyari, had last year said Nigeria consumed 66 million litres of petrol daily.
Fuel scarcity resurfaced in some states, including Abuja this week.
