The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) has blamed the latest crisis in fuel supply and distribution across the country on a problem associated with the discharge of a couple of vessels at the seaports.

He was reacting to the latest queues seen in some parts of Lagos and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
