The Minister of State for Petroleum, Dr. Ibe Kachikwu, has assured petroleum marketers that outstanding payment for products imported would be made next week.
Dr. Kachikwu spoke after a tour of service stations and depots in Lagos on Tuesday.
He was accompanied by the Managing Director of Pipelines and Product Marketing Company and Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR) officials.
The Minister said there was enough petrol to dispense and wondered why cases of scarcity persisted.
Dr. Kachikwu, however, admitted that there was a shortfall in supply, as a lot of marketers were not bringing in products because they were owed subsidy money.
