From Thursday last week, several fuel tankers have been loading the premium motor spirit (PMS) at various jetties and tank farms in Apapa, Lagos, including those belonging to NIPCO, Folawiyo, Capital Oil, De Jones and Integrated Oil.
Consequently, the unending queues and fracas at Filling Stations are expected to dissipate. The PMS scarcity which reached new heights in Lagos, led to tragic events in the state with several casualties, most notable is the death of one black market dealer in Festac and severe injuries to many others as the product was sold for N400 per litre at the black market in many parts of Lagos.
We hope that these kinds of PMS quagmire will be abridged and the nation makes giant strides to ensure steady supply of the product.
