He noted that although today (01) was a public holiday, fuel distribution activities were carried out with the support and contribution of staff.

Accordingly, by 5.00 p.m. today, a total of 1,332,311 litres of diesel and 2,019,600 litres of 92-octane petrol had been distributed, the Chairman said.
