Nigeria: Fuel Supplies Return to Normal in Jos

Local media has reported  that most of the service stations were selling petrol and that car queues had disappeared.  They report that the  scarcity of petroleum products in recent weeks forced most residents to resort to buying from the black market at prices way above the normal governmenmt prices. The scarcity of petroleum products was blamed on the marketers, who allegedly ordered their stations not to sell products because of an anticipated increase in the price of fuel.

However. the Chairman of the Jos branch of the Petroleum Tanker Drivers unit of NUPENG, Alhaji Adam Ali, denied the allegation . He said that the improvement in the supply situation being witnessed in Jos and environs was due to repair works carried out on some of the nation’s refineries. Ali called for transparency in any transactions involving petroleum products, pricing, regulation and distribution.
