Imminent fuel scarcity looms as marketers lament N1,100/litre diesel price

  • Marketers of diesel products have warned of an imminent resurgence of fuel scarcity
  • This is as a result of the price of diesel skyrocketing to over N1,000 in some locations
  • The marketers have called on FG to intervene to help reduce the price of the product

Petroleum marketers in Nigeria have appealed to the federal government for intervention to address the rapid surge in diesel pump prices in order to avert an impending distribution crisis.

They have expressed their inability to continue nationwide petroleum product distribution, including petrol, due to the exorbitant cost of diesel, which fuels their trucks and is currently retailing for N1,100 per liter in numerous areas.
