Fuel scarcity looms as NARTO threatens to stop lifting petrol from Monday

Nigerians have been told to brace up for fuel scarcity as the Nigerian Association of Road Transport Owners (NARTO) has vowed to suspend operations from Monday, February 19, 2024 over rising operational costs.

The association’s National President, Yusuf Lawal Othman, made this known in a press statement he issued from Abuja while noting that the statement was an official announcement from the association’s headquarters that the members are parking their trucks from Monday.

He stressed: “Why? Because what we spend on operation is more than what we get in total: both in local and bridging”.
