Petrol queues resurface in Abuja, Kaduna
The long queues returned to retail outlets in Wuse, Gwarimpa, Wuye and Kubwa expressway while other outlets were not selling the product.
A statement by the Group General Manager, Group Public Affairs Division, Dr. Kennie Obateru, quoted the Managing Director of the Petroleum Products Marketing Company , Mr. Musa Lawan, as saying that there are about two billion litres of PMS in strategic depots across the country to keep the nation well supplied for two months if no drop of fuel was imported in that period.
Fuel stations all over the FCT, since Saturday, started witnessing long queues of motorists struggling to buy the premium motor spirit , also known as petrol.The situation worsened yesterday. “As I speak to you at this moment, loading has commenced in all depots in the country, dispatches of trucks are ongoing in all the depots in the country and they have called off the strike for a period of one week to enable us intervene and find a solution. So there’s really nothing fundamental that is happening now,” he assured.
“That is why we know we will not be able to complete that in the month of May and and therefore we declared that there will be no increase in fuel price. I have no update in hand now, this is beyond me, but we’re engaging to make sure that we have the right timeline,” he said.
