Ifeanyi Ubah To End Fuel Scarcity – A Rare Act Of Patriotism by mrmetoo1: 5:24pm On May 24, 2015
There are still patriotic Nigerians among the political cadre as the Managing Director and CEO of Capital oil held a press release today to announce the resumption of loading of PMS at his jetty despite a collective sabotage by oil transporters to stop loading which resulted in the alarming strike hitting the nation now. Fuel is now bought at N200 in some states while some can’t even find to buy. Read his press release below:

Good day Ladies and Gentlemen of the press!

On Saturday 16th May 2015, we received an SMS ordering the suspension of loading activities in all depots from Monday 18th May 2015. We later realized that this directive was as a result of unpaid funds owed to transporters by oil marketers who in turn are owed by the Federal Government. This development has resulted in immense hardship to our fellow country men and women. We believe that a better solution can be pursued towards solving this problem in a way that does not adversely affect our dear citizens.

Capital Oil and Gas has watched with so much pain, the suffering and hardship our citizens have been subjected to as a result of scarcity of petrol, diesel, aviation fuel and house hold kerosene. We are deeply pained to hear that hospitals cannot perform surgeries, laboratories are unable to carry out much needed tests especially for emergency patients leaving such patients at risk of dying, radio stations are shutting down, communication is being affected as MTN and other telecommunications company have announced an impending shut down while homes, offices and key facilities nationwide are experiencing blackouts. In some parts of the country, petrol is already selling at an all-time high of N1,000 per litre. Our citizens have left their homes and are now sleeping in fuel stations, facing the risk of robbery attacks and other attendant risk.

In a few days’ time, a new government headed by General Muhamadu Buhari will be sworn in. Apart from our citizens being unable to watch the handover on television and unavailability of transportation for attendees of this historic handover, the resulting chaos from this scarcity may shutdown the Nation and sabotage the efforts Nigeria has made to attain greater heights.

We are constrained at this point and have decided that two wrongs cannot make a right. We will not be part of this sabotage against our fatherland. Therefore from this minute, we shall take the risk of opening our facilities and commence swift loading and distribution of products Nationwide.

Our facility has the capacity to load over 13 million litres of product before dawn. This comes to approximately 400 trucks of petroleum products. With this act, it is our belief that once again our citizens will begin to smile, return to normal family and work life. We call on other petroleum marketers to follow suit and save our Nation from this impending economic and social crisis. This is a period that requires patriotism and service to fatherland. Let’s join hands to help our fellow citizens and save Nigeria. We also call on striking bodies to call off the strike action. Let us work together for the betterment of our people.

As we brief you this moment, our truck park, port reception facilities and our depot complex have been ordered opened. We are ordering and resuming discharge of products from vessels at our berths. We have ordered our trucks to commence loading of products and move overnight to every state of the Federation.

Most importantly, we wish to use this medium to thank NNPC and PPMC for their steadfastness in ensuring the availability of petroleum products. Current PPMC stock level in our storage tanks and buffer stock on vessels awaiting discharge at our jetty is capable of meeting the Nation’s need for 15 days.

Furthermore, we wish to emphasis that we have a total solution to the traffic menace on the oshodi apapa expressway. In the coming weeks, we hope to engage the Federal Government (Federal Ministry of Transport), Lagos State Government and other stakeholders in the affected area, to optimally utilize our truck park facilities which has the capacity to accommodate over 1,100 trucks per time and 5,000 on a shift basis.

Capital Oil and Gas continues to appeal to Nigerians to accept and support deregulation as this will curb corruption, enhance competition, lead to reduction of pump price for petroleum products and ensure constant supply to meet Nigeria’s demand.

Long live the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Great gesture from ifeanyi. But on a lighter note: Is Uba a Nigerian or Biafran? ? Since the OP attributes the gesture to his patriotism? cheesy

@Ezenwammadu: Personally I don't trust his motives, even though I commend and welcome the gesture as it will go a long way in alleviating the sufferings of the common man.

Trying to buy goodwill against Friday, despite the campaign of calumny he ran for GEJ.

Nice move, but we can see through your intention. Buhari will come for oil marketing thieves, it cannot be worse than this.

I do not like Ifeanyi Ubah primarily because of his Amcon/Capital oil deal and the TAN nightmare he created, but ...I say well done...

Even if this is being done with ulterior motives, that premature babies will not die in incubators is enough for me to do away with my misgivings!!

Jonathan, can now see he is on his own..

To this people, its back to business as usual and all the TAN ish was not out of any special love for him!!!

If he likes he could give it out without taking money, he will still face trial. The Ribadu report of 2012 will be revisited.

Multiply 13 million litres by N100 alone ..and see why the info to remove subsidy should be discreet and classified.

Actually all I did was copy and paste. The patriotism bit is not my opinion. I'm just glad there's hope for some relief. What he should be referred to as maybe a patriot or an opportunist will be a topic for another day.
