The Group Chief Executive Officer, Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation Limited( NNPCL), Mele Kyari, has assured Nigerians that the lingering fuel scarcity will ease off next week.

Kyari who appeared on Channels Television on Tuesday evening said he could not assure that the queues at the fuel stations would disappear, but added that there would be significant improvement in the next one week

“Now within the next one week, I’m not saying that you’re going to have zero queues within the next one week, no, because a number of things are out of our control, and of course the market forces will determine some of these issues.

“But I believe that we’re going to see substantial and  relative ease compared to today in the next one week.

“I apologise for the situation on behalf of all of us in the oil and gas industry,” Kyari said.

Recall that the President Muhammadu Buhari had also asked Nigerians last week Friday to give him seven days from then to resolve the naira crisis.
