NNPC tankers loading fuel in depot
In an interview with News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos,
South-west chairman of the Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas
Workers (NUPENG), Tokunbo Korodo, has said that the ongoing fuel
scarcity in the country 'could linger till the end of March.'
He revealed that from all indications, loading of petrol at both
NNPC depots and private depots were very slow, adding that if there was
no improvement in loading the product by next week, the situation might
be worse.
"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.
