The perennial fuel scarcity at Yuletide

FOR more than two weeks now, Nigerians have gone through greater hardship due to a fresh round of fuel scarcity across the nation, yet there has been no convincing explanation as to the cause of the scarcity.

Many thought that the scarcity would ease off as Christmas draws nearer or that somebody is doing something about it but instead the situation gets worse daily with no end in sight. As usual, there has been a serious blame game between the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) and independent petroleum marketers. It is a hide and seek game that Nigerians are used to.
