Buhari summons Baru over fuel scarcity

President Muhammadu Buhari summoned Maikanti Baru, group managing director of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), to the presidential villa in Abuja on Saturday.

The presidency disclosed this in a message posted on its Twitter handle, saying Buhari is very concerned about the hardship which Nigerians have been subjected to in the last three weeks.

Fuel queues at filling stations have compounded traffic woes in major parts of the country.

While black marketers are smiling to the bank, many motorists have spent nights at filling stations.

NNPC has blamed the situation on marketers, giving repeated assurances that normalcy would soon be restored.

The presidency later uploaded a video of Baru addressing Nigerians.
