Contrary to claim by the Minister of State for
Petroleum Resources and the Group Managing
Director, Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation
(NNPC), Dr Ibe Kachikwu that scarcity will end in
Lagos on Wednesday, marketers have stated that
scarcity cannot end in Lagos or any other city this
week.
In a telephone conversation with the Nigerian
Tribune on Wednesday, one of the marketers who
preferred anonymity argued that scarcity cannot end
this week in Lagos or any other city because the
volume available for distribution is 25,000 metric
tonnes.
According to him, “except the NNPC scales up its
importation, fuel scarcity may not end soon as
claimed by the government.
“The corporation just received another 25,000 metric
tonnes on Monday which is about 65 million litres.
The cargo was distributed to major marketers and
NIPCO plc.”
He added that “although, the government is doing all
it could to end scarcity and I can assure Nigerians
that if it continues with constant importation of
more cargoes, then maybe by next week, all the
queues will disappear.”
However, a visit by the Nigerian Tribune to Apapa
depot on Wednesday revealed that massive loading
of premium motor spirit (PMS) otherwise called
petrol, was ongoing as all depots visited were
loading.
Depots visited include Mobil, Conoil, Forte, MRS,
NIPCO and Aiteo.
It may be recalled that Kachikwu told Nigerians that
scarcity will persist until May, which resulted into
severe criticism from Nigerians including the
national leader of the All Progressives Congress
(APC), Bola Tinubu.
This has forced the Minister of State to apologise
and pledged to end scarcity by 7 April, 2016.

Finally, FTC after more than a yr as a Nairalander.

Back to topic, why not import fuel until our refineries are well equipped to produce enough fuel that can serve Nigerians.

They are trying hard to remain important. Very soon, there will be no business for them, just give us 18months.

America be like,this 25,000 metric tones will relieve your people hardship if problem persist consult your president.

The best thing will be to build resefvoirs is several cities where massob or IPOB or MEND can not access them, import enough fuel and redistribute if / when it's getting scarce

That wouldn't solve the problem at all instead it will worsen it

Wouldn't they move crude from those regions via pipe lines to other states? Don't you think that the pipe lines will be vandalized by militant? Would it make sense to set up industry far from raw material? All these questions will give you clue on whether it's a wise decision or not

I am talking about Finished Products, the Petrol we import

Not crude oil passing through piplelines


MajoR Difference

And it won't have to be channeled to other states , it'll be kept in storage and tankers from other states will come to fill from there
