The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has blamed saboteurs in the political system for the persistence fuel scarcity faced by Nigerians.

He said the scarcity was the handwork of some group of people who were used to stealing public funds.
Fagge alleged that the saboteurs created the scarcity to get back at the present administration for failing to pay subsidy on fuel.
“All the problems arising now should have been envisaged and addressed before removing the subsidy.
“Government is supposed to know that some people will try to frustrate its effort and should have pre-empt that,’’ he said.
He called on government officials to always inform the citizens about the true situation of an issue on regular basis, rather making inconsistent statements, only to apologise later.
“How will a government official utter conflicting statements that the fuel scarcity will be resolved on April 7, but later said it will be in the second week in April. That is unfair.
“Government officials should be held responsible for their promises and anyone who makes promise and failed to fulfill it should be eased out of the system,” he said.

The ASUU president called on President Muhammadu Buhari to urgently save Nigerians from the current hardship caused by the the fuel scarcity.
Meanwhile, Johnson Ekwe, has explained why Nigerians should stop attacking Ibe Kachichukwu, the minister of state of petroleum resources and the managing director of Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC).
Vanguard reports that the Bishop expressed his opinion on Thursday, March 31, while briefing journalists after dedicating a new church building donated to the Anglican Church of Umuatuolu-Umueri Community of Anambra East by some illustrious sons of the community.
According to Ekwe, it is wrong to ask Kachikwu to resign over lapses in the supply of fuel. He noted that President Muhammadu Buhari should be held responsible because he is the substantive minister of petroleum who gives instructions to Kachichukwu.
