The minister made the allegation during an unscheduled inspection to filling stations in Lagos State on Sunday.

According to her, “we have enough fuel to wet the country, but the challenge we are having is that, after loading, some truck drivers will not supply the lifted products at the designated filling stations.

“Having gone round the state (Lagos), it is not just the filling stations in Ikoyi that appeared to be wet with the product, but other extreme locations like Ajah and other parts in Surulere.

“It appears there are lots of factors militating against efficient delivery of fuel. - More on tribune
