Motorists may have to endure two more weeks of fuel scarcity, according to the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC). The organisation said yesterday that the scarcity which has paralysed socio-economic life in many parts of the country for the fourth week running, could be effectively over in two weeks time when the Kaduna Refining and Petrol-Chemical Company (KRPC) is scheduled to resume production.
The plant has not been producing on account of the vandalisation of the pipelines supplying it crude oil. The pipelines have now been repaired, and the Group Executive Director (GED) and Chief Operating Officer (COO) Off-Stream Sector, NNPC, Alhaji Bello Rabiu Babura, declared yesterday that all is now set for the resumption of production at the plant.
