The NNPC announced that they are working to resolve the fuel backlog and have reopened the purchasing portal.

The portal was closed because of a considerable backlog, which marketers argue has resulted in product supply round-tripping and higher prices.

Olufemi Soneye, Chief Corporate Communications Officer of NNPC Ltd, said: “We have a significant backlog to address. The closure is intended to prevent us from holding marketers’ funds for an extended period. It will be reopened once the backlog has been sufficiently reduced. We are working to address it as soon as possible.”
