Oil Marketers Reveal Why 75% Filling Stations Are Currently Closed In Nigeria
Nigerian oil marketers have identified why many petrol stations are currently closed across states.
Naija News had reported earlier that motorists and residents were seen forming long queues in major parts of Ibadan, the Oyo State capital to buy Premium Motor Spirit popularly known as Petrol.
It was unclear before now why the sudden pileup in some filling stations while others are seen closed.
A report has now revealed that about 75 per cent of filling stations across the country are currently out of business due to their inability to purchase the diesel required to power their tankers and transport Premium Motor Spirit (Petrol) to their various outlets.
Some dealers under the aegis of the Natural Oil and Gas Suppliers Association who addressed journalists in Abuja earlier said the recent surge in the price of diesel was the reason why petrol scarcity had resurfaced in many parts of the country including Abuja.
The marketers expressed worries that the price of diesel may eventually increase to N1,500/litre in the next two weeks if certain measures are not taken.
