 As a first time, 10 litres of petrol was sold for 2,500 by black marketers. The Niger National Petroleum Company, NNPC, has directed all its depots and outlets across the country to begin 24 hours operation in order to address the long queues that have resurfaced at the petrol stations. NNPC Group Executive Director Downstream Ade Tungi Adeyemi revealed that the company has several million litres of petrol in stock, expecting about 2.3 billion litres of petrol in the country by the end of the month.
