Saraki Says Fuel Scarcity In Nigeria Is Man-Made

The Senate President, Bukola Saraki, says the continuous fuel shortage in the nation is man-made and that those capable must pay the cost for going to unnecessary hardship on Nigerians.

He put forth the expression on Tuesday while respecting his partners back to the entire from their three weeks break.


“I am not unmindful of the sobering fact that the new year has met many citizens in a reflective mood. Many were on the queue for petrol; many households are grief-stricken.

“This mood of reflection is also one from which no lawmaker is immune; what affects one, affects all. When one part of the body is hurting, the whole body hurts, and this holds true for the entire nation.


“We have all been witnesses to the hardships with which many Nigerians saw in the new year, stuck on fuel queues tailing from petrol stations in many of our cities.

“My own estimation of the fuel scarcity phenomenon is that it is man-made. We thought we had left the problem of fuel queues firmly in the past in this country, but sadly, that appears not to be the case,” he said.
