– Lagosians are seriously fuming over the unfavourable situation they have found themselves presently due to the shortage in supply of pure motor spirit (PMS) popularly called petrol
– The minister of state for petroleum, Dr Ibe Kachikwu on Thursday, March 10 explained to Nigerians the issue of unbundling of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC).
– Dr Ibe Kachikwu told Nigerians to be patient with the federal government
When NAIJ.com went to town on Thursday, March 10 to feel the pulse of Lagosians, regarding the challenges they are facing due to the ongoing fuel scarcity, they were conspicuously annoyed with all the managers of the oil industry.
When the minister of state for petroleum was answering questions, while he briefed the senate yesterday, he said, pipeline and the depot aspects of the oil business was drowning the availability of petroleum products.
Issues like pipeline vandalism and other mundane issues affecting the oil sector could be used as tenable excuses by the minister, but Lagosians and Nigerians alike cannot continue to suffer in the midst of plenty.
