Oil marketers under the aegis of the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria alluded to the problems in the downstream sector with a prediction that the current scarcity would not end until the government gave a clear position on subsidy removal, full deregulation and price determination.
Our correspondent who went round the town to speak with motorists and commuters noted that the situation was becoming unbearable. A commercial bus driver, Richard Ijie, who plies Agege Underbridge to Alausa, Lagos State, complained that the fuel scarcity had made driving a difficult job for them as they struggled to get fuel for their buses.
Ijie appealed to the Federal Government to work on how the nation’s four refineries could be efficient to refine crude oil locally, rather than reining crude abroad. He noted that local crude refining would yield more productivity and tackle the perennial fuel scarcity in Nigeria. The native of Cross River State lamented that unlike before when he would have made over N5,000 profit as of 2pm, he had yet to make a profit of N3,000.
God deliver us in this country sincerely

Tinubu jabs FG, alleges sabotage with fuel crisis, naira redesignLess than a month to the presidential election and many months since the lingering fuel scarcity, presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, yesterday, in a jab directed at the government, alleged plot by some ‘powers-that-be’ to sabotage his chances at the polls through the fuel scarcity and naira redesign policy. In a speech reminiscing his famous Emilokan address at Abeokuta, Ogun State, days leading to the presidential primary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Tinubu, again, returned to Abeokuta for his presidential campaign, where he dropped the bombshell that the fuel crisis and the scarcity of the newly redesigned naira notes were artificially created to discourage people from voting for the ruling party. A kingdom that is divided against itself shall never stand. Elements of failure in contest of mistrust. He only wants APCs success not it's failures too. Did he not say the brought Buhari's pain on us? Buhari! Buhari!!! Buhari !!!!!!! Buhari!!!!!!!!!!!! Buhari !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Buhari!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Say it again Buhari!!!!!!!!!? In BAT's Voice 😂😂
