“We are working diligently to address these issues and are confident that the situation will improve shortly.”
He highlighted that the government’s efforts include enhancing the distribution network and addressing supply chain disruptions that have led to inconsistent fuel availability.
By working closely with key stakeholders, including the NNPCL, the administration aims to streamline operations and ensure that fuel reaches all regions effectively.
Lokpobiri’s statements come at a time when fuel shortages and rising prices have significantly impacted daily life and economic activities across the country.
The government’s assurance is intended to provide relief to Nigerians who have been grappling with the repercussions of the fuel crisis, including increased transportation costs and disruptions to businesses.
Vice President Shettima and Kyari also echoed Lokpobiri’s optimism, emphasizing the collaborative approach being taken to resolve the crisis.

Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has made it clear that his government will not tolerate any form of assault on officers of the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA). Speaking through his deputy, Dr Obafemi Hamzat, at the Second Lagos Traffic Conference on Tuesday, the governor said anyone caught attacking traffic officers will be made to face the law.
The event, held in honour of LASTMA’s 25th anniversary, brought together key stakeholders to reflect on traffic challenges and explore new solutions under the theme: “Enhancing Traffic Efficiency and Safety on Lagos Roads: Challenges, Opportunities, and Innovations.”
Sanwo-Olu praised the efforts of LASTMA officers who he said work in tough, often dangerous conditions to keep Lagos roads under control. He acknowledged their sacrifices and dedication, saying their presence is the thin yellow line between traffic order and chaos.
“I truly commend every LASTMA officer for your courage and commitment. You’ve stayed strong even when the job puts you at risk, and that speaks volumes about your dedication,” he said. He also paid respects to officers who died in the line of duty, calling them heroes whose sacrifices would always be remembered.
Looking ahead, Sanwo-Olu shared plans to modernize LASTMA with technology that fits today’s traffic demands. He said the government would increase investment in smart systems such as AI-powered tools, automatic number plate recognition, and drone surveillance. These tools, he explained, will make it easier to monitor traffic in real time, respond quickly to incidents, and improve the overall movement of vehicles across Lagos.
