There were indications yesterday that the raging patrol shortage could last beyond next week as earlier promised by the federal government.The government had said it had placed order's for over a 2.1billion litres of methanol-free petrol to ensure the queues vanish in a few days.
However, in an interview with vanguard,National Operations Controller, Independent Petroleum Marketer's Association of Nigeria, IPMAN, Mike Osatuyi, said: " The federal government and other stakeholders are working to end it.
It might end in Lagos because of increased loading. But it might continue in other parts of the country because of bad roads and other problems ". "I think we should look towards the end of the month to resolve issues and bring in more cargoes that will enable the government to meet demand in many parts of the country.
Similarly, the Managing Director/CEO, 11plc, Tunji Oyebanji, said with increased efforts it might be possible to end the shortage in Lagos but doing so in all parts of the country might take more time because of logistics and some problems".
