AS long queues returned to filling stations in Lagos, there is the growing anxiety that the shortage of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) otherwise known as petrol may soon hit the nation .

The looming scarcity may have been compounded by a strike by members of the Petroleum Tanker Drivers (PTD) Association, Mobil Road, Apapa, Lagos who are protesting against what they called the unjust removal of the members of the Tunde Akinade-led executive of the association.

Long queues were particularly noticeable at filling stations in Surulere, Victoria Island, Lagos Island and Ikoyi, in Lagos metropolis.Reports have it that the queues have also started building up in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, Owerri, Imo and Abakaliki, Ebonyi.

The Guardian learnt that the chairman, secretary, financial secretary of the tanker drivers body were suddenly removed from their office on Monday and allegedly replaced with others after an election...

Culled from Guardian

One of the members of the association, Mr Mohammed Katsina, disclosed that the constitution did not give room for an overthrow of the members of the executive.“The elected executive members must complete their tenure and there is no going back on our strike until their positions are restored,” he said.

Meanwhile, many marketers are unhappy over the fuel imports allocation quota issued by the PPPRA where the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) was given 78 per cent with other marketers sharing the remaining 22 per cent.

This situation has created a huge deficit in the supply value chain, as depots are now largely used as throughput rather than product importation business.

A fuel marketer, Ajayi Hassan told The Guardian yesterday that the product was scarcely available at the normal price at the depots, thereby forcing marketers to sell at higher price or adjust the pumps.

Hassan said: “There is scarcity of products. The NNPC is not importing enough, and we are not getting at normal price at the depots. The independent marketers have exhausted their stocks and we are all relying on NNPC. The main issue is that the NNPC often delay product supply after. They will ask you to pay but they will not give you product until after four months. How will I pay today and be waiting for the next four months before I can sell fuel?

“Many of the marketers have shut down their stations because they are not making profit at the official price. In fact, I have also shut down one of my stations and I am also planning to shut another one before month end.”

It was learnt that most of the independent and major marketers have imported and emptied their tanks, they are now waiting for next allocation.

“There is inflation in all spheres of the economy and Nigerias are indeed
groaning. Business men and women can no longer import goods due to the fall in naira. It has reduced the purchasing power of citizens abroad.


“Nigerians can no longer go on holidays abroad, the sick can no longer travel for treatments, and students who school cannot afford to pay their school fees.

“Investors are not willing to come into the country because the fall in naira keeps reducing the value of their holdings.”

its to early to complain.. Lets all enjoy the CHANGE WHILE IT LAST..... During the last election i advice my son who is 18 year old to vote for GEJ BUT HE RESISTED. Saying he want 'change'. Yesterday he was informing me that their busery(school fees) has incresed from 35k to 48k.. I should give hIM money TO GO AND PAY.... (i almost disown him.)for asking me money instead of his political father (PMB)whom has not paid me for the past 3months now.

you can have your holiday in several parts of Nigeria.

There are alot of schools here in Nigeria offering quality education.


Let start buying made in Nigeria

The Old senile man has started running his mouth again

This old man is a pastor and I have never seen him share the gospel of Christ or write any Christian material

All he does is criticize Buhari and APC out of hatred and pain that his jesus on earth= the ineffectual buffoon called Jonathan lost woefully at the polls

Nigeria is facing an economic crises today because of the massive pillaging of our public finance under the otueke drunkard.

I will take the failed academic seriously when he provides any meaningful solutions

Useless old man

Menh that kpomo and goat meat(isi ewu) sure make sense pass.. Chai

remember when FG wanted to ban Kpomo,

when they saw that the Kpomo-war go pass Boko-Haram, they took to their heels asap.

owo and Yam,

you see the outcome of a nepa certificate president.

OAUTemitayo:
My brother, it is very disgusting and annoying that APC will even think of giving the ticket to somebody who is not on the ticket.
Faleke is the governor elect of Kogi state.

buhari na error

Dijaga:
APC governors are not doing good at all....JUST A FEW..

Still blaming GEJ for their woes

these monarch are truly descendant from Benin kingdom as you can see in in their dressing and symbols

Abagworo:
Thats a lie. I rather saw some works done on it between May 2015 and January 2016. I travelled from Port Harcourt to Enugu and again Port Harcourt to Umuahia just 2 weeks ago where snail pace of work was ongoing. Work on the road was never fast.

Politics can make people lie even when glaringly full of mischief. Enugu/Port Harcourt expressway was abandoned by Jonathan throughout his 6 years in power with oil at a point selling over $140 pb but you can only talk nonsense after Buhari's 9 months with oil below $40 pb.

from your statement, it shows you don't stay in SE.

stop telling lies

power before increment

Buhari should show Nigerian his own certificate.

Onyeka onewnu, you are a woman of Virtue

Eeyah, I kinda pity her. Just this time last year, she was so powerful and running her mouth anyhow. Today, she's seeking the help of the court to get her job back. If she ever gets a second chance, she will learn never to take side with politicians in her line of duty.

it dose not take anything from her.

she still remains a super woman

princemillla:
Lobatan....... Buhari is waking up. I beg you if posible you can bring back soludo, he was there wen Nigeria had nothing, I believe he can do it Again. Otherwise a more competent person is expected.

Buhari dose not have constitutional power to sack Emiefele

is that not mama peace i am seeing

providing graze land for them to permanently claim it and installed their emir.

other states should follow suit by rejecting this proposed grazing land

“Last year, tomato farmers in this state made a lot of profit, a development that enticed many farmers into irrigation farming this year and God so kind, we are yet to record any pest attack hence our markets are saturated with the produce,” he said.

Legacy of GEJ agricultural programs

yet this administration instead of continue where GEJ stopped has been running from pillar to post.

It is just matter of time, the ineffectiveness of this government will be expose

olajumoke this, Olajumoke that.

what value has she brought that makes her famous.

all these paparazzi should stop

Flyoruboy:
Guy, must you turn all your threads into an Anambra-centric one? You didnt have to suck us in with the deceptive headline. A more specific Anambra heading would have sufficed. Nigeria is bigger than your state alone abeg. I know you get paid to do this but try and show some versilitilty for once.

why not post your Osun products instead of complaining

They should go to the creek and see if they will come out with same numbers of soldiers

ionsman:
What did he go and commission Mr metropillar?

Jebba dam has been operating since 1984..

Modified: One of the turbines was rehabilitated. Guess that's what Baba fash went to commission.



I never knew Gej was president in 1984. You are intellectually bankrupt.

Fashola going to commission Turbine that was rehabillitated,

This is what this country under APC has degenerated to.


However you are financially bankrupt
