The news at six with the the Major Oil Marketers Association of Nigeria working with the Nigeria National Petroleum Company Ltd., to improve the distribution of petrol across the country.
Chief Executive Officer of MOMAN, Mr Clement Isong made the statement in an interview with Newsmen in Lagos today against the backdrop of the current scarcity of petrol and long queues at filling stations.
He revealed that the association had been holding a daily logistic emergency meeting with the downstream management of NNPCL on how to enhance the distribution of petroleum products in the country.
He expressed further that the scarcity was as a result of delay experienced at the point of receiving products from offshore to onshore at the port.
He, however noted that the logistics challenge had been resolved and members were currently trucking out products.
Nigerians have complained that most filling stations that have fuel collect N100 at the entrance before vehicles are allowed to enter filling stations, and additional N100 to sell product to vehicles owners.
Black marketers have also taken advantage of the situation to hoard products and sell to desperate motorists at exorbitant prices.
