PENGASSAN Blames Outdated Distribution for Fuel Queues
At the 2024 PENGASSAN Energy and Labour Summit in Abuja, Mr. Festus Osifo, President of the Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Association of Nigeria, highlighted the reasons behind the persistent fuel queues at filling stations. Osifo pointed to weak and outdated distribution chains in the oil and gas sector as a major cause.
He explained that Nigeria’s reliance on a single importation point and truck-based distribution is inadequate for its large population, leading to recurring fuel shortages. Additionally, he cited bad roads and flooding as factors exacerbating fuel scarcity.
Osifo also addressed the high cost of local production, which is 15-20% higher than global standards, partly due to the security burdens faced by oil and gas companies. He urged the government to assume security responsibilities from investors and strengthen laws against oil theft to reduce production costs and improve industry integrity. Without these changes, he warned, Nigeria will continue to face fuel distribution challenges.
A viral clip has made its way online showing a police officer in Delta State shooting a suspect who had already been restrained.
It can be noted that the suspect was pleading, claiming he had been framed and deceived, and said he would lead them to the right place.
However, while he was pleading, the police officer shot him. The officer later stated that the suspect was armed with a gun.
It was later revealed that the police officer has been arrested, as it is against the law to shoot a restrained suspect.
It was reported by the Kogi State Government that 24 children were abducted from an orphanage home. It was shared that this happened on the 26th of April, Sunday, and gunmen were seen in the area that day.
The information was shared by the Commissioner of Information, Kingsley Fanwo, who shared this sad news and described it as unfortunate.
“We condemn in strong terms the abduction of innocent children from an orphanage, the government is working closely with security operatives to ensure their safe return,”
Ghanaian media personality Afia Schwarzenegger speaks on the xenophobia issues occurring around Africans in South Africa.
She stated that Ghana is not the same as Nigeria and shared that if such issues happen to Ghanaians in South Africa, they will speak up and not keep quiet. She added that they will react.
“Ghana is not like Nigeria and we won’t hesitate to return the stupid favour.”
