A week after queues of desperate
motorists disappeared from filling stations, the nation is in for
another round of fuel scarcity as marketers have significantly because
they are unsure of the continued payment of subsidy on the product after
the general elections.
Findings by.....
our correspondent showed that
major oil marketers, who import a large chunk of petrol consumed
locally, were stalling on further importation of the product and not
ready to tie their money down owing to fears that power could change
hands after the general elections.
The marketers, our correspondent learnt,
were keen about minimising losses, which could occur as a result of
developments in the political arena; hence the return of queues at
filling stations in Lagos, Abuja and other major cities in the past
three days.
In Lagos, some filling stations were shut on Wednesday as their owners claimed they were not getting supplies from the depots.
Culled - Punch
