The Natural Oil and Gas Suppliers Association, NOGASA, recently told journalists in Abuja that there was a shortage of diesel in the nation and it was also affecting petrol stations since trucks could not convey diesel to them.
The National President, NOGASA, Bennett Korie, said, “If you go round now, you will see that about 75 per cent of filling stations in Nigeria have gone out of business.
“There is no diesel to take fuel to their stations. All of them are going down. And it is not that the fuel is not there, but the cost of bringing it to the stations is too high. We know that the crisis between Ukraine and Russia has contributed badly, but the government has to do something fast, otherwise, we are going to buy diesel in the next two weeks at N1000 to N1500/litre.”
