How filling station attendants encourage black marketers of petrol in Abuja
Following the return of long fuel scarcity and long queues at filling stations across the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, fuel attendants have been accused of encouraging the sales of black market.
It was observed that black marketers have taken advantage of the fuel scarcity around the Federal capital city to make brisk business.
Despite assurances by the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited, NNPC, of adequate fuel in December, Abuja has been witnessing long queues, increasing business for black marketers.
Our correspondent gathered that while motorists groan in filling stations over lack of fuel, black marketers can be seen clustering around filling stations while displaying fuels in jerry cans openly in an attempt to attract customers. They are, however, on the lookout for security agents.
Recall that the NNPC had assured that it has two billion litres of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) in stock; hence allayed the fear of fuel scarcity during the Yuletide season.
Adeyemi Adetunji, the Executive Vice President, Downstream, NNPC Limited, said it has enough fuel in stock to cater for motorists for more than 30 days.
According to him, officials are currently monitoring massive loading from the depot to various destinations to reduce the long queue, adding that the NNPC has programmed vessels and trucks to unconstrained depots
