Fuel Queues: FG Confirms Supply Of Adulterated Petrol
The Federal Government through the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority on Tuesday said petrol, with methanol quantities above Nigeria’s specification, was discovered in the supply chain.
In a statement, it said the supplier had been identified and appropriate sanction would apply.
It also said oil marketers had been directed to ensure sufficient supply of petrol in all outlets in the country.
Queues had surfaced in filling stations in parts of the country on Monday stretching into Tuesday. While most filling stations suspected of having the adulterated petrol have stop selling, others selling are recording long queues of motorists trying to get the product.
