FG To Adopt ‘Aggressive Measure ‘ To Tackle fuel scarcity.

The Group Managing Director (GMD), Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), Dr. Maikanti Baru,
Tuesday said the Federal Government would adopt “aggressive measure” to tackle the ongoing artificial scarcity of petroleum products In the country.

“We must have noticed the sudden return of fuel queues in some parts of the country last week; this is, unfortunately, attributable to the activities of some independent marketers who are hoarding the product in anticipation of perceived (increase in) price of petroleum product.
“We’ve said it time and time that the government and NNPC has no intention of increasing the price of petroleum at this moment.
“Moving forward however, DPR will be more aggressive in curtailing this menace by sealing any petrol station found hording petroleum products. The products will be dispensed to motorists free of charge, so be on notice,” Baru said.
