Mr Tayo Aboyeji, the South-West Chairman of Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers (NUPENG), on Monday confirmed that massive loading of petrol was ongoing at different depots in Lagos.

Aboyeji made the confirmation in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos, assuring Nigerians that the current scarcity of fuel would end in the next two days.

According to the chairman: “I am glad to tell you that the product is now available and today, being Christmas holiday, tanker drivers are waiting to collect the product.

“Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) is now making use of Major Marketers Association of Nigeria (MOMAN) tank farms to distribute petrol.


“This is to accelerate the product to different locations. As I am talking to you, our members are taking the product out of depots to filling stations across the country.

“To make it quicker, NNPC is also using Folawiyo depot, Aiteo and NIPCO depots and I can tell you that the rate at which loading is taking place now, the crisis will soon be over,” he said.

Atoyebi denied allegation of diversion of the product by his members, adding that such had not been reported to him.

“To the best of my knowledge no such cases have been reported to the union.

“It is not easy to divert the product because petroleum tankers loaded were being monitored to their destinations,” he said.

He urged Nigerians to desist from panic buying, adding that the product was now available.


“Nigerians should not result to panic buying now; petrol is available in depots unlike few days ago when the product was not available.

“The product will be in all filling stations in few day’s time, so buy only what you will use and stop hiding petrol in your house, it is dangerous,” he said.

Available at what price and where, looks like all the petrol stations are currently on holiday today in my area of Port Harcourt.

If only this will help the situation.

Lies. Buhari waited from January to spoil Xmas for Christians!

After spending 12hours at filling station today. Wicked leaders

no be politicians dem..........

we know

I do hope it would get to the end users because the fuel scarcity is very worrisome.

So where did it appear from and why is it now that they are loading depots with fuel. If this was a sane government, history should remind them that fuel demand always increases this time of the year, hence, this loading of fuel should have started earlier before this Yuletide craziness and of course, definitely extend to first few weeks of the new year, that's what a sane government should know.

Is celebrating Xmas on fuel queues the change APC promised?
