Fuel Scarcity Worsens In Abuja, Ships Carrying Petroleum Products Arrive Lagos

Update: Why FG Reduces Ex-depot Fuel Price To N77.66 Per Litre

As fuel scarcity in Abuja worsens, fifteen ships laden with various products including petrol, kerosene and aviation fuel have arrived at the Lagos ports, the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) said today in Lagos.

The NPA also said it was expecting 31 ships to arrive at the Lagos ports from April 7 to April 21, 12 of which would be expected to sail into the ports with containers, while 12 others would arrive with food products. Five ships would be expected at the ports with petrol.
Authorities have, however, faulted Nigerians for the long queues being witnessed at filling stations. The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) and the department of Petroleum resources attributed the situation to panic buying.
