Oil marketers in Nigeria have said the current fuel scarcity in the country is their creation, according to reports.

The marketers explained that they have been forced to hoard fuel due to the failure of the Federal Government to pay them the remaining subsidy debt, Vanguard reports.

The marketers reportedly said further that they had to manage the product they had due to uncertainty on what actions the incoming government of President-elect, Muhammadu Buhariwould take.

“My friend, we are not sure what the incoming government will do with us as from May 29. We need to force the present government to pay us our outstanding claims now. We love this country, but we need to be sure we have products now, because we do not know what will befall us in the next two weeks,” a marketer, who chose to remain anonymous, told Vanguard.
