Staff of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), have cancelled their Christmas holiday, in a bid to ensure the lingering fuel scarcity is curtailed.
This was revealed by President Muhammadu Buhari’s Personal Assistant on New Media, Bashir Ahmad.
Ahmad tweeted on Saturday night: “Had a long conversation with the GMD @NNPCgroup, @DrMKBaru earlier, so many NNPC staff canceled their holidays and now working round the clock to see this biting #FuelScarcity is solved. They are coming up with a lasting solution.”
