Ibe Kachikwu says fuel crisis to end by next week

Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Ibe
Kachikwu, says the fuel crisis being experienced
in the country will end by next week. Kachikwu
said this while speaking to state house
correspondents after the Federal Executive
Council meeting today April 20th. He blamed the
scarcity on saboteurs.
"The queues are as a result of sabotage.
Some people rather than sell products
send them into interlands where they can
sell at ridiculous prices and so you are
having this price distortions where people
are making a lot of money, some are
internal and some are
external but a lot of it is marketers trying
to make quick returns on their
investments wrongly. We have asked DPR
to deploy officials to ensure products are
sold at the right because is only through
price stabilization that these system
queues will disappear.
As at today we are delivering about 1,200
trucks, by weekend we should be
delivering same number of trucks, it will
take a bit of days to even out but you
can see improvement already. I hope by
the end of next week with the refineries
helping us to stay on course, every part
of the country will get fuels" he said
