We’ll end fuel scarcity in days – NNPC

AS the embarrassing nationwide fuel scarcity continues to hurt families and businesses with prices hitting almost N200 per litre, the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) yesterday assured it would bring the chaotic situation under control in a matter of days.

Although the assurance was coming after the Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Ibe Kachikwu, told Nigerians the crisis could linger till May, the NNPC in a statement signed by its spokesman, Garba Deen Mohammed, outlined new ways to arrest the situation, stressing it was on top of the petroleum products supply and distribution situation, while remaining committed to eliminating the endemic issue once and for all within the next few days.

While urging Nigerians to report product hoarders and saboteurs of the administration’s change efforts as they are wittingly fighting every bold change effort currently being put in place, it advised Nigerians to shun panic buying and undue return trips as this attitude emboldens marketers to hoard products.
