The Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) has confirmed that 18 ships at the Lagos ports discharged petrol, bulk wheat, general cargo, gypsum, bulk sugar, palm oleum, bulk coal, automobile gasoline and jet fuel, among others.
The authority said 16 other ships expected to arrive at the port between January 18 and 30 would carry frozen fish, containers, bulk sugar, general cargo, bulk salt, base oil, bulk gypsum and petrol.
NPA indicated that five other ships had arrived at the port and were waiting to berth with jet fuel, automobile gasoline and petrol.
This is coming amid the worsening scarcity of petrol across the country.
