Strike: Fuel Depots May Run Dry By Wednesday by Islie: 6:55am On Jul 11, 2016
’Femi Asu

Should the ongoing strike embarked upon by the Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria be allowed to linger beyond Wednesday, most depots in Apapa, Lagos, will run out of fuel stock, our correspondent has learnt.

Following the commencement of the strike on Thursday, loading at Apapa depots, where many marketers get petroleum products to other states, has been reduced due to the absence of workers of the Petroleum Equalisation Fund Board.

The PEF personnel usually certify marketers’ trucks to enable them to get bridging funds for fuel being transported to distant parts of the country.

It was gathered that marketers were only loading to Lagos and other South-West states that required no payment of bridging fund by the PEF.

The Federal Government had said it would meet with the leadership of PENGASSAN today (Monday) in a bid to resolve the problem.

A source, who is an official of an independent marketing company in Lagos, said, “Terminal owners can only load what is in their tanks, but they cannot receive any product now from vessels. If they finish what is in their tanks now and bring in any vessel, the Department of Petroleum Resources is not going to certify it for discharge. They do a lot of tests on any product that comes to Apapa.

“That is how it is going to affect the supply in Lagos if the strike lingers on. Depots in Apapa should finish their stock on or before Wednesday. I don’t see any depot that will still have stock after Wednesday in Apapa.”

The Chairman, Trade Union Congress, Rivers State chapter, Mr. Chika Onuegbu, said fuel distribution was the smallest bit of what would go wrong as a result of the PENGASSAN strike.

Onuegbu said, “I think the main impact will be this week when production facilities, export terminals and gas supply to power plants will be shut down. It will affect the government’s revenue significantly. I pray we don’t get to that extent, because the economy is already in a bad shape.

“That is why the government should act fast and engage the union to resolve the issues.”

The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation on Friday cautioned members of the public against embarking on any form of panic purchase of petroleum products in anticipation of scarcity due to the ongoing strike.

I thought the strike was put off before it began.
I thought Kachiukwu said we have a month and half worth of fuel stock.
Who lied?

ACP should know that even their "change" one day would be changed, maybe sooner. In case they've forgotten that "The only constant thing in Life is Change"

No light
No fuel
Inflation on all our want.
Corruption
This has been the situation of Nigerians before existence of APC, but APC promised us change and we opted for them in general election. And we made a terrible mistake by not asking them which kind of change are you guys talking about.

And i remember this quote often attributed to Alexis de Toqueville "In a every democracy, people get the government they deserve."

Majority opted for APC because that's what we thought we deserve, and we all got it.
