Over 200 million litres of petrol is expected to arrive Nigeria before the close of the week. This was revealed by the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC).

According to the NNPC, at least five ships loaded with 50 million litres of petrol each will arrive the country before the close of the week.

The delivery follows persistent shortage of the fuel across the country which have consequently, affected businesses in Nigeria – who rely on the petrol generators as alternatives for power supply.

The news has sparked excitement among some members of the Nigerian business community.

In a reaction to the media on the development, a petrol station owner expressed satisfaction that the NNPC was finally, stepping up in its efforts to ensure adequate supply of the product and as result, guarantee moderate prices as well as cut-down on the queues often witnessed at gas stations across the nation in recent weeks.
