Fuel Shortage hits Upper East Region(D/G, Wednesday, January 9, 2013. Page 42)

Benjamin Xornam Glover, Bolgatanga There has been shortage of fuel in the Bolgatanga municipality of the Upper East Region over the past three days. A visit to a number of fuel filling stations in the regional capital saw fuel attendants confirming the shortage. Clients who visited the pumps were met with the "No Patrol inscriptions" mounted at the entrance. At Yikene Total filling station, the Daily Graphic chanced a long queue of clients accessing super as that was the only brand available. The staion had ran out of diesel. The attendant said the station ran out of the products at the close of last week but luckily, super arrived later which was been sold to clients. A source however told the Daily Graphic that fuel tankers have left for the Buipe Depot with the hope of lifting some fresh stock for sale to clients by close of the week. writer's email: benjamin.glover@graphic.com.gh
