FG meets oil marketers, seeks end to fuel scarcity

In efforts to resolve the fuel scarcity crisis that has prevailed in many parts of the country for some months now, officials of the Federal Government may today (Friday) meet with marketers of petroleum products in Abuja.

An official at the Ministry of Petroleum Resources ministry, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said, “It is true that the scarcity started before this administration came on board, but it has come to realise that Nigerians are becoming fed up with the situation and very soon will start pointing accusing fingers at the Buhari’s government.

“The meeting with the oil marketers is to discuss issues pertaining to the scarcity and why it has dragged on for this long. The government is not happy about it and we hope the issue will be adequately addressed during the meeting.”

A letter signed by the Director of Information in the ministry, Mr. Kingsley Agha, stated that the meeting was between the “Ministry of Petroleum Resources and oil marketers to address the current fuel scarcity.
