The National President of National Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers, NUPENG, Igwe Achese, has expressed optimism that before the end of April, the current petrol scarcity experienced across the country will be over.
He said that the union had, at a meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari on Wednesday, advised the government to put in necessary policies that would adequately regulate the prices of petroleum products.
Mr Achese made the disclosure in a telephone interview with Channels Television on Friday.
According to the NUPENG boss, stakeholders at Wednesday’s meeting with President Buhari agreed to work together in making sure that product distribution were not being hindered.
“I strongly believe that by the end of April scarcity will be off the street but the more important thing is the political will of stakeholders in the sector to see how to get scarcity off the street.
“With the passion the President spoke about the situation, I am strongly convinced that scarcity will soon end”, he stated.
