FG Pays Fuel Transporters N22.7bn Bridging Claims

The Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority have said the FG has paid bridging claims amounting to N22.7bn to transporters of petroleum products.

The NMDPRA said the government would also pay another N30bn to the transporters this week to ensure the smooth distribution of petroleum products across the country.

Bridging claims represent the cost of transporting fuel from Pipelines and Products Marketing Company depots to approved zones to ensure a uniform pump price across the country.
