Fuel scarcity looms as tanker transporters set to down tools

Nigeria is facing the threat of another fuel scarcity crisis as the Nigerian Association of Road Transport Owners (NARTO) has declared its intention to halt the transportation of petroleum products starting tomorrow(Monday).

This decision stems from the soaring operational costs experienced by NARTO members, primarily due to the exorbitant price of diesel needed to fuel their trucks for product transportation nationwide.

Concerns over the escalating diesel prices have been repeatedly voiced by NARTO members, who play a crucial role in transporting petroleum products across the country. According to oil marketers, the current price of diesel ranges between N1,250 to N1,400 per litre, varying depending on the location of purchase.
