With a collective sigh of relief, Nigerians received the news late yesterday afternoon that all key stakeholders in the petroleum industry had reached an agreement with the Federal Government to put an immediate end to the protracted fuel crisis.
After a closed-door meeting convened by the Senate Committee on Petroleum Resources at the National Assembly yesterday, the news was broken that the oil marketers had agreed to commence lifting within six hours.
Also, the National Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers (NUPENG) has suspended its days-long strike, as tanker drivers resumed loading of products.
The South-West Chairman of NUPENG, Tokunboh Korodo, who confirmed this to The Guardian yesterday, said: “We have suspended the strike and our members have started loading products to all parts of the country. We hope the situation will normalise soon.”
