The scarcity of petrol is yet to end in Abuja just as some tanker drivers blame persistent gridlock in Lokoja, Kogi State.
while more fuel stations are now dispensing petroleum products, there are still visible queues over one week after the petrol scarcity began.
The Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority, NMDPRA, had blamed the flood taking over highways in Lokoja for the scarcity. The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Ltd assured of consistent supply of over 20 days.
Speaking yesterday, some tanker drivers noted that the situation has not abated along the Lokoja to Abuja highway.
Also speaking, an official of the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria, IPMAN, northern region, Mohammed Iliyasu, said it could take two weeks for normalcy in retailing petroleum products.
