The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) has promised Nigerians of constant availability of kerosene in its mega stations across the nation at 50 Naira per litre.
Flagging off a scheme tagged; ‘Kerosene Correct’ in Abuja, the Group Managing Director of the NNPC, Dr Joseph Dawha, said the corporation was working hard to ensure that kerosene black market sales were brought to an end across Nigeria.
“It was high time we ended kerosene black market in the country so that the masses will have access to the product at the right price, quantity and quality,” he said.
The Managing Director of Retail, Mr Chris Osarumwense, said sales of the product would be rationed to 25 liters per person for any one time sale.
Mr Osarumwense said an elaborate monitoring process, involving non governmental organisations, had been mapped out to ensure that as many Nigerians as possible partake in the scheme.
