Vice President Yemi Osinbajo on Sunday, December, 24, made a surprise visit to some filling stations on Lagos island to witness the long queues caused by the fuel scarcity in the nation.

The vice president made a stop at Oando Petrol Station at Elegushi where he engaged with Nigerians queuing for fuel. From there, he headed to Heyden Petroleum at VGC.

The vice president on his official Facebook page after the visit wrote: “Christmas is a time of cheer, joy, and hope for the coming New Year. Many people would love to be around their families, but regrettably, cannot because of the inadequacies in the fuel supply in different parts of the nation.

“This is something that President Buhari is deeply concerned about, mandating all relevant persons to bring an end to the fuel queues. I witnessed first-hand the discomfort that many of us have to contend with. We sympathise with you and are working assiduously to eliminate this pain in the shortest possible time. We regret this inconvenience while assuring that all hands are on deck to return things to normalcy.

“I do hope that you still find time to reflect on the miracle of Christmas to lift your spirit and that of your family. God bless you and God bless our great nation.”
