Government has reassured Fijians that fuel supply across the country remains stable, while thanking the public for staying calm and acting responsibly.
In a statement, the Government acknowledged the orderly behaviour of motorists and consumers, noting that it had helped ensure the smooth distribution of fuel nationwide.
It also commended individuals and families who have adopted fuel-saving measures such as using renewable energy, carpooling, public transport, cycling, walking, or reducing unnecessary travel.
Authorities say a dedicated Fuel Advisory Committee is closely monitoring the situation in coordination with key agencies, including the Fiji Commerce Commission, the Reserve Bank of Fiji, and the Ministry of Finance.
The committee is tracking fuel supply levels, assessing the impact of global developments, and working to ensure that economic activity and daily life are not disrupted.
As part of contingency measures, the Permanent Secretary for Public Works has been appointed Fuel Controller under the Fuel and Power Emergency Act 1974, centralising oversight of the national fuel situation.
Government also confirmed that the Ministry of Information will serve as the official source of updates, urging the public to rely on verified information.
“Fuel remains available, and there is no need to change your normal daily routine,” the statement said.
Officials added that Fiji is preparing for any potential changes arising from global events, including developments in the Middle East, to safeguard national fuel security.
The Government has urged the public to continue acting calmly and responsibly as monitoring efforts continue.
