Fuel scarcity hits Abuja...


Hundreds of motorists on Friday were left stranded at petrol stations in Abuja as they spent hours on long queues waiting to buy fuel.

The queues were largely pronounced in the city centre as most of the filling stations in satellite towns refused to sell the product without giving customers any reason why they decided not to sell.

At the Total and Conoil petrol stations opposite the headquarters of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation in the city centre, the long queues for fuel led to tense vehicular gridlock.

The NNPC mega station on the Kubwa Expressway was besieged by motorists despite the fact that the outlet was not dispensing product at the time our correspondent visited on Friday afternoon.

Although a senior official at the NNPC stated that there was enough fuel to keep the country wet, it was gathered that the partial scarcity was as a result of panic buying and hoarding by the some marketers.

On Wednesday The Punch reported that long queue of desperate motorists searching for petrol resurfaced in Ilorin and other parts of Kwara State as well as Owerri and its environs in Imo State.

The Federal Government, in a bid to avert fuel scarcity, agreed to pay petroleum marketers a total of N264bn as subsidy arrears from 2014.

The settlement, it was learnt, will be between February and March and a payment timetable had been drawn for the purpose.

Minister of Finance, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, was said to have given the assurance of payment to the marketers at a meeting in Lagos on Monday evening.

APC WITCHCRAFT BROOM CARRYING PARTY


The Schizophrenic sick Pa Buhari is a terrorist, deranged old brainless super clueless bastard
Apc is boko haram
Thiefnu.bu is a pedophile and a cocain sniffer

Buhari can only be president in sambisa and shekau would hand over to him.

Osinbajo is fake and a loafer

Amechi and Fashola are errand boys

Stupidity, is when you charge your phone using generator and later come on Twitter and write GEJ till 2019.

Yesterday I talked about this issue and one useless Pdp supporter was talking thrash. Scarcity is already in Benin, now in abuja. When most depots are selling at 106 naira, how do you expect the filling stations to sell at 87 naira . Nigerians shine your eyes.
