The scarcity of petroleum products is imminent in Nigeria as some depots have stopped loading-trucks, The Nation learnt on Wednesday.

The Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN ) National Vice President, Alhaji Abubakar Maigandi, disclosed this to our Abuja correspondent on phone.

He added that the #EndSARS protests and the resultant crises have stopped the marketers from transiting their loaded trucks.

According to him, since petroleum products are highly inflammable, the drivers decided to park their trucks in safe places nationwide.

He explained that since consumers buy fuel on daily basis and there is no replacement, there is bound to be a scarcity of petroleum products.

Maigandi further said the marketers do not hoard products so there will be no reservoirs to turn to upon the exhaustion of available stock.

Asked whether there is any fear of scarcity, he said “definitely, because some of the depots are not loading due of insecurity.

“The ones that have already loaded parked their trucks in the yards so that protesters will not set them on fire. There is no way you can have sufficient fuels in the filling stations because we don’t do hoarding.”

The IPMAN National Vice President urged the protesters to dialogue with the Federal Government for the amicable resolution of the crises.

He asked them to embrace the olive branch because of the economic losses that emanate from the crisis.

His words: “The EndSARS issue is a Nigerian issue so the protesters and government should dialogue over it for a lasting solution. Nigerians (both government and the governed need to have attitudinal change. So, it is better to dialogue. “

We actually want to "Dialogue" but the blood sucking coward called General Buhari is nowhere to be found....


If we don't see him One on One to "Dialogue" with him, then, it's a total shutdown.
