The lingering queues at filling stations nationwide will
begin to disappear by April 7.
The Minister of State for Petroleum, Dr. Ibe Kachikwu, gave
the assurance in Abuja when he appeared before the Senate
Committee on Petroleum to intimate them with the effort
done to make fuel available.
He told the Senate that the Ministry had developed a
programme that would ensure the constant availability of
sixty percent of the daily fuel need of consumers.
The Minister said the lingering fuel crisis was the product of
decades of fraudulent practices that overwhelmed the
Ministry, which had left what he described as the
“monstrous chain of problems that had ushered in the
annoying scarcity of petrol”.
He advised Nigerians to stop hoarding fuel to help clear the
long queues at filling stations.
He however said the country would rely on the newly-
developed programme for fuel supply until its refineries
were fully rehabilitated.
