Fuel Scarcity: Federal government to meet with oil marketers today

President Goodluck Jonathan on Tuesday, March 3, 2015 directed the Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, to pay with all outstanding monies owed to oil marketers so as to put an end to the current fuel scarcity that has threaten to cripple the nation and caused untold hardship to millions of Nigerians.

This was as the result of fuel scarcity in most cities as it worsened by the day, despite assurances from the Federal Government of improved supply, as motorists experienced increased difficulties in their quest to purchase Premium Motor Spirit, PMS, from petrol stations.
The President who reiterated his commitment to Nigerians in Abuja on Tuesday said that the public need not bear the burden of needless bureaucracy as is presently the case, and that they don’t need excuses but solutions which must be provided.

Consequently, petroleum marketers are, therefore, meeting Federal Government officials today (Wednesday) with a view to resolving all outstanding issues leading to the current fuel crisis.
