Indications that the nation may be heading for another round of fuel scarcity emerged yesterday as all four of the nation’s refineries were shut down as workers of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) embarked on an industrial action.

It was learnt that the four refineries located in Kaduna, Port Harcourt and Warri, were shut down yesterday as the strike began.

Similarly, all the 23 depots operated by the Pipelines and Products Marketing Company (PPMC), a subsidiary of NNPC, throughout the country, were shut down in the early hours of yesterday.

This is even as France’s Total SA, Europe’s second largest oil company, has put one of its offshore Nigerian oil fields up for sale.

Consequently, normal loading of petroleum products for supply of petroleum products to the filling stations in the nooks and crannies of the country, were suspended as the strike began.

Specifically, one of the nation’s four refineries, Warri Refining and Petrochemical Company (WRPC), was shut down by the aggrieved workers by 5pm on Monday.
