The Minister of Petroleum Resources, Diezani Alison-Madueke, on Sunday blamed the current scarcity of petrol nationwide on the diversion of the commodity by some marketers.
Nigeria has been hit by its worst fuel scarcity in months, with the 36 states and the Federal Capital, Abuja, left without sufficient supply for weeks. Queues have returned to filling stations as motorists spend days before being able to buy fuel.
Mrs. Alison-Madueke made an unscheduled inspection of 15 filling stations in Surulere, Ikoyi, Ajah and Iponri areas of Lagos.
“We have enough fuel to serve the country, the challenge we are having is that, some drivers will not supply the lifted products to designated filling stations,” the minister said.
