He said that the members of the public should not indulge in storing petrol in their homes because additional 50 trucks of petrol had been released to Lagos. “About 250 trucks have begun to discharge petrol to Lagos compared to less than 200 trucks allocated to Lagos at the weekend. Ughamadu attributed the sudden scarcity of petrol being experienced to a slight change in the distribution network in Lagos. The NNPC spokesperson also acknowledged that there was a slight hitch at the Port Harcourt Refinery which he said was caused by power problem. “The Port Harcourt Refinery is slightly down for now, pending when the problem will be rectified,” he said.
