Scarcity of aviation fuel: FG urged to give license to more independent marketers

Federal Government of Nigeria has been urged to give more license to independent fuel marketers in the aviation industry to allow them import JET A1 otherwise known as aviation fuel as a fast remedy to  the problem of  scarcity of the products before it gets out of hand.

Out-going Secretary General of the Airline Operators of Nigeria AON, Mohammed Tukur made the call while speaking with newsmen at the Murtala Muhammed Airport, Lagos.

According to Tukur, the major reason for the scarcity of aviation fuel is that, it is only one fuel marketer that is supplying the product at the moment stressing that if the government should allow other independent marketers into the system, the scarcity of aviation fuel will become a thing of the past.
