“Fuel Scarcity May Linger Till March End ” – NUPENG

The Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers, NUPENG, on Friday, March 11, said that the ongoing fuel scarcity in the nation might linger till the end of March.

The South-West Chairman of the union, Tokunbo Korodo, disclosed this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos.

He said that from all indications, loading of petrol at both NNPC depots and private depots were very slow.

“The pace of loading of fuel at NNPC depots in Mosinmi and Ejigbo is very slow as most tankers drivers that wanted to load, left the depots with nothing.

“Even at private depots where they sell above the ex-depot price, the pace of loading is very slow. Presently, we need massive loading of petrol nationwide to get over the present scarcity.

“I am imploring the government to improve on supply of fuel to all depots nationwide so that our tanker drivers can get the product and transport it to filling stations,’’ he said.
