The Group Chief Executive Officer, Nigerian National
Petroleum Corporation Limited, Mele Kyari, has assured Nigerians that the
lingering fuel scarcity will ease off next week.
Kyari said this in a video clip shown on Channels Television
on Tuesday evening.
He however said he could not assure that the queues at the
fuel stations would disappear, but added that there would be significant
improvement in the next one week
He said, “Now within the next one week, I’m not saying that you’re going to have zero queues within the next one week, no, because a number of things are out of our control, and of course the market forces will determine some of these issues.
“But I believe that we’re going to see substantial and relative
ease compared to today in the next one week.
“I apologise for the
situation on behalf of all of us in the oil and gas industry.”
The fuel scarcity coupled with the scarcity of both the new
and old naira notes have brought untold hardship on citizens, crippling
economic activities across the country.
Consequently, protests have broken out in various states and
cities across the federation, with citizens lamenting the twin scarcity and its
impact of their businesses and everyday lives.
Recall that the President, Muhammadu Buhari, had also asked Nigerians last week Friday to give him seven days from
then to resolve the naira crisis, with two days left to the completion of the
seven days requested for by the President.
