Nalaraba assured Nigerians that the committee’s report would reflect its findings and recommendations.

Some of the assets inspected by the committee, according to him, include: Storage facilities located at Apapa Terminal 1, Ikeja Aviation Terminal, a parking store or warehouse located in Apapa,

Others are the ASPM Jetty at Admiralty Channel, among others.

He said some of the assets seen by the committee are: 6 million litres for AGO, 23 million litres of storage for PMS, and ATK, among others

He also listed storage tanks, the former OVH head office, and a 17 million-liter lubricant blending kettle located within the lubricant plant, Jetty, among others.

He said Mr. Dipo Makinde, who conducted members around the facilities, informed them that NNPC Retail had a drum production plant in Kaduna State.
