Muhamad added that any perceived or visible shortage of petrol was only a ripple effect of the period when the strike was in progress, adding that ``it does not represent a shortage in supply.’’
The unions are the Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria (PENGASSAN) and National Union of petroleum and Natural Gas Workers (NUPENG).
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) report that there was sudden resurgence of queues on Thursday in some filling station in Abuja.
