NNPCL Shuts Down Customer Express Portal: Impending Fuel Scarcity Looms Amid Disruptions
Nigeria’s oil and gas industry faces a new wave of challenges as the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) has unexpectedly shut down its Customer Express Portal, a key payment platform for oil marketers. The shutdown has sent shockwaves across the petroleum supply chain, with many experts warning that fuel scarcity is now an imminent risk in the coming weeks.
The Customer Express Portal is the main gateway used by marketers for payments into NNPCL’s account, enabling seamless financial transactions and facilitating the lifting of petroleum products. This platform has been integral to ensuring the smooth operation of the downstream petroleum sector, allowing for the timely settlement of obligations necessary to secure product allocation and distribution across the country.
