Lagos Fuel Scarcity Is Artificially Induced Says NNPC
He said that Abuja had also witnessed such situation in the previous week and the special task force comprising NNPC, PPPRA, and the DPR went out to ensure that all the lines in Abuja were decimated.
He then stated that the NNPC did not believe that there was fuel scarcity in Lagos, but rather they believed that people were hoarding because some think that Government was going to raise the price of petrol, an assumption he said “there is no truth in”.
“Government is not, as far as we know, going to raise any price, and retailers who have fuel in their tanks should please release it for people to buy.”
The Executive Secretary of the Major Oil Marketers Association of Nigeria, MOMAN, Obafemi Olaore, had been quoted to have said, “The Federal Government through the PPPRA just released the 1st quarter allocation of fuel importation to petroleum marketers who will now commence importation of the product”. He also said that importers should have brought in the products in the next one month.
Mr. Farouk, in his response to the statement, confirmed the said release to have been done on February 20, but added that there are already vessels on the West African waters waiting to come into Nigeria and he did not feel the marketers would delay in getting the products into the country.
He insisted that the fuel scarcity in Lagos had nothing to do with the importation of the products but rather the deliberate act of the filling stations to hoard the product, providing instances as experienced by the special task force to validate the view.
He promised that as the task force has successfully cleared the queues in Abuja, it would do same in Lagos and other places starting from Monday, March 3.

Mr Marwan said that the government had responded to the union’s demand for financial autonomy with threats, reduction in allocation, non-payment of salaries or reduction of salaries of its members.
“After waiting and sending several reminders, the union, therefore, has no option than to embark on a three-day warning strike from Wednesday, March 12 to Friday 14 to compel the Federal and State governments to grant financial autonomy to the judiciary by paying directly to the heads of courts throughout the country,” he said.

Court Refuses To Reinstate Suspended CBN Governor, AdjournsTo March 12
A Federal high presided by Justine Kolawale refused the suspended CBN governor Mallam Sanusi Lamido Sanusi an ex parte motion brought forward by him.
Mallam Sanusi had filed the motion on the 24th of February 2014, before the court urging the court to make an order of interlocutory injunction restraining the defendants from obstructing, disturbing, stopping or preventing him in any manner whatsoever, from functioning as the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria and enjoying in full, the statutory powers and privileges attached to the office.
While Sanusi urged the court to expeditiously grant his interlocutory application, he maintained that there might be irreparable and serious damage and mischief on him in the exercise of his statutory duties as the CBN Governor if there are further delays.
The ruling judge Justice Kolawole held that the court does not have the judicial powers to declare the suspension unlawful but to order that the plaintiff be reinstated to perform his duties as the Governor of the CBN.
Justice Kolawole added that the court can also, even where the tenure had lapsed, order the defendants to pay the plaintiffs such remunerations and allowances on the basis that the plaintiff’s suspension also carries with it the stoppage of his remuneration and allowances.
The trial judge further said, it is unsafe, judicially speaking to embark on far reaching interim orders which have all the attributes of a mandatory injunction without according the defendant a hearing.
The hearing of the motion has been adjourned to the 12th day of March 2014.
