Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Ibe Kachikwu, said on Wednesday that the lingering fuel scarcity bedeviling Nigeria will end next week.
According to Kachikwu, every part of the country will be supplied with fuel in seven days time.
While briefing State House correspondents at the end of the Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting on Wednesday, Kachikwu said: “As at today we are delivering about 1,200 trucks, by weekend we should be delivering same number of trucks. It will take a bit of days to even out but you can see improvement already.”
“I hope by the end of next week with the refineries helping us to stay on course, every part of the country will get fuels.”
“Some people rather than sell products send them into inter lands where they can sell at ridiculous prices. Therefore you are having these price distortions where people are making a lot of money.”
“Some are internal and some are external, but the truth is that the marketers trying to make quick returns on their investments wrongly.”
