Latest updates released on Monday show that NNPC Limited has a total of 1.805 billion litres of PMS stock, representing 805.35 million litres in all the land depots nationwide and 1,000.20 million litres on marine vessels, which is equivalent to 30.09 days sufficiency.
According to the statement released by NNPC Spokesman, Garba Deen Muhammad, adding that additional PMS supply of 884 Million Liters is also expected into the country by 28th February, 2023.
