President Muhammadu Buhari has expressed regrets for the inconvenience caused to Nigerian citizens following a prolonged shortage of petroleum products.
Nigeria has been battling with fuel scarcity following the discovery of 100 million litres of imported petrol in the supply chain with “methanol quantities above Nigeria’s specifications”.
The bad fuel damaged many vehicles and generators, leading to an emergency withdrawal of volumes of the product.
However, the President who is away in London, UK on medical tourism, said “the administration knows the fuel shortage has placed a strain on Nigerian citizens and businesses, but relief is on the way”.
“I especially apologize to all sections of society for this,” he added.
