The scarcity of Premium Motor Spirit, popularly called petrol, worsened on Thursday in Abuja, as the Federal Government attributed the development to flooded roads in Kogi State that stopped tankers from transporting the commodity.

In the same context, it advised oil marketers to desist from hoarding the product so as not to inflict hardship on Nigerians, as it pledged to ensure seamless supply and distribution of petroleum products nationwide.

Their position was contained in separate presentations made at the closing ceremony of the forum. The government, through the NMDPRA, however, assured the stakeholders that it would look into their concerns. “We had our first engagements few months ago, during which we covered 10 draft regulations. As we committed during that particular event, we’ve also published two more draft regulations,” Ahmed, who was represented by the Executive Director, Distribution Systems, Storage and Retailing Infrastructure, NMDPRA, Ogbugo Ukoha, stated.

I don't recall the Kogans asking the Government to open the dam, despite that the Government has been unsupportive to the people of kogi and yet you blame your issues on them, Haba, FG calm down 😁😁

Can’t they blame their selves? Always one thing or the other, they can never be responsible for once!

Toor

They should use a tug boat and carry the petrol. Who caused the flood?.
