Akwa Ibom residents commend Gov Umo Eno for swift action in ending artificial fuel scarcity

After Governor Umo Eno intervened to end the artificial fuel scarcity in Akwa Ibom, Premium Motor Spirit is now abundantly available in all fuel stations, without any queues.

Previously, many stations had closed, causing both a scarcity and a price hike in the state. This issue stemmed from a misunderstanding between product marketers and security agencies.

Governor Eno swiftly engaged with various petroleum marketing groups on Monday to address the crisis and ensure a return to normalcy, as confirmed by a statement from his Chief Press Secretary, Ekerete Udoh.
