PM NEWS reports that a businessman in Ibadan, Mr Mayowa Oluyinka, said

“Some of the filling stations don’t have fuel while others are just hoarding the product till it becomes very expensive to buy.

“I was lucky to get fuel last night, but I had to beg the gateman before I could access the filling station.

“Today, many more people are unlucky and have to join long queues as early as 7.00 a.m”.

Also speaking, a motorist identified as Mr Sanmi Olatunde, said he queued for about 30 minutes before he could get the fuel in the town.

“I am travelling to Ife in Osun today and I don’t want to assume I will get fuel on the way, hence, the reason I have waited to get it here.

“I experienced the same in Lagos, but I thought it would be limited to Lagos. We just hope everything will come to normal.

“If there would be an increment, they should let us know, instead of creating scarcity”.

According to PM NEWS, a Christian cleric, Akin Odukofu, said, “The queues are moving little by little. After 30 minutes, three vehicles will leave and others will move up in the queue.

“I had to leave my work to join the queue. If I don’t, I wouldn’t be able to go to work tomorrow.

“While some people said marketers are agitating for something, some said adulterated fuel brought in caused the scarcity.

“Others are attributing it to panic buying, because we still bought fuel yesterday and maybe, because of what happened in Lagos”.

PM NEWS reports that the Chairman Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN), Oyo State Chapter, Alhaji Bukola Mutiu noted that the queues are as a result of shortage of supply.Jamb Result

“I will just say that the lack of supply led to what we are experiencing. It is beyond Ibadan city, don’t narrow it down to Ibadan alone.

“Definitely, measures are in place to ensure enough supply and disappearance of queues. We are on top of it and we are working hand-in-hand with the NNPC authority and all the stakeholders in the downstream sector.

“We have had a meeting as to how to address the situation. The issue of adulterated fuel is also part of the problem”.
