Oil Marketers Disclose Reason Behind Fuel Scarcity(See Shocking Revelation)

Some oil marketers in Abuja have predicted intense cases of

fuel scarcity in the coming days across the country as well as

pin-pointing the major reason behind the fuel shortage.

The fuel crisis took a dramatic turn for the worse,

yesterday, as massive queues were seen in almost all the

petrol stations selling the products in Abuja, according to

the Vanguard.

Also, some oil marketers, who spoke to a correspondent,

blamed the prolonged scarcity on the insincerity of the

Federal Government and called on Nigerians to expect a

further worsening of the situation in the days ahead.

This was after a slight improvement was recorded few

days after the Senate approved the supplementary budget

which was to be used mainly for payments of subsidy

claims to oil marketers.

Some marketers who spoke to a reporter blamed the

renewed intensity of the crisis on the fact that they are yet

to receive payments for their subsidy claims, a situation

that had made it difficult for them to purchase the

product.

Specifically, one of the marketers, who spoke on the

condition of anonymity, wondered what is delaying the

payment of the claims, while he accused the Federal

Government of not showing concern for the plight of

Nigerians.

The marketer disclosed that Nigerians should expect

tougher days ahead, stating that if the subsidy claims are

eventually paid, it would take days for oil marketers to

access the funds, place order for the products, get the

consignment and start distributing the products to all the

nooks and crannies of the country.

He said:-

“Nigerians should hold the Federal Government responsible

for the sufferings they are currently passing through. This

government was aware of outstanding subsidy claims from

their first day in office, but they had to wait for six months,

until Nigerians could no longer bear the suffering in silence,

before they took any action”.
