The House of Representatives Committees on Petroleum Resources yesterday assured Nigerians that the long queues at filling stations across the country will disappear in the next one or two days.

The lawmakers said the logistic issues ranged from the difficulty experienced in transporting products from the mother vessels to onshore, the movement of products with marine shuttle vessels, and disruptions in the Escravos channels, among others.The lawmaker said investigation revealed that petroleum products were available but their distribution had some hiccups.

The stakeholders, the lawmaker said, include the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited , the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority , the Petroleum Products Retail Outlets Owners Association of Nigeria , and the Nigerian Association of Road Transport Owners . “…We strongly frown at the activities of middlemen who have taken advantage of the short disruption of supply to maximise profit and generate inordinate gain for themselves at the detriment of our people.
