QUEUES IN ABUJA FUEL STATIONS TO VANISH SOON~DPR

If we are to believe the words making the rounds as stated by the Department Of Petroleum resources, the shockingly fuel scarcity that has hit the Federal Capital Territory since last week will soon be all but forgotten. 

Mr Mohammed Saidu, Zonal spokesperson DPR Abuja, made the statement in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria in Abuja on Friday. The Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR) has said that fuel queues in Abuja will soon disappear as 3.2 million litres of petrol have been released to the city from Suleja Depot on Thursday.

Saidu said the volume supplied on Thursday would bring fuel supply to the city within two days to 9.3 million litres.

He said that 6.1 million litres of fuel was lifted by marketers from Suleja Depot on Wednesday to meet the demand of motorists in Abuja.

He, however, expressed optimism that the situation would improve before next week.

Saidu warned marketers against hoarding or selling above the official pump price, adding that whosoever was caught defrauding or cheating motorists would face the full wrath of the law.
