The Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA) and other relevant organisations in the oil sector agreed Thursday to end the lingering fuel scarcity across the country in 48 hours.
Speaking to journalists in Abuja after a closed-door meeting with the State Security Service (SSS), the operators said depots would work seamlessly for 24 hours daily to end petroleum queues across the country.
Nigeria’s lingering fuel scarcity became worse in recent weeks as several filling stations failed to sell petroleum products. Operators of filling stations where petroleum products were available sold at prices higher than the government’s pump price.
