The recent scarcity had been observed in Abuja and its vicinity last week, a situation attributed by oil marketers to poor road conditions and the high cost of diesel for distribution.

In a telephone interview with Vanguard, the President of the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN), Chinedu Okoronkwo, stated that measures have been taken to address the situation.
