The economy crippling fuel scarcity crisis in the country might well be over soon as oil marketers in the South West Zone of the country have commenced loading of petrol in Apapa, Lagos State.
According to the News Agency of Nigeria, over 1,000 tankers were loading the product and major depots offer 24 hours service.
The articulated vehicles were sighted at Capital Oil, Folawiyi, NIPCO, Aiteo, Mobil, Rahamaniya, De Jones and Integrated Oil loading points.
Some of the depot owners, who preferred anonymity, disclosed to NAN that workers had been compelled to do 24-hour massive loading of petrol since April 5 to ease the scarcity.
They claimed that about four vessels bearing 33,000 metric tonnes of petrol had berthed to discharge into storage facilities under the throughput arrangement agreement with the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation.
Most filling stations on Ikorodu Road, Apapa, Ikorodu and Ikeja areas were selling though there were long queues.
The marketers added that most trucks that load in Apapa do not only serve Lagos metropolis but also travel to other states in the South West.
