Sadly folks, you will not be able to listen to a couple of your favorite radio stations tonight.
The scarcity of petrol products in the country has affected Beat FM and Classic FM.
The two radio stations, which are under the same management, have
issued brief statements on Twitter, that they are suffering from diesel
shortage.
Also, the management of MTN
says that the current diesel scarcity currently prevailing in Nigeria is
posing a significant threat to quality of service and its ability to
optimally operate the network.
In a statement
released today, the Corporate Services Executive Akinwale Goodluck said:
“Most of our base stations and switches are powered round-the-clock by
Diesel Generators and the current fuel shortage has drastically reduced
the availability of diesel supply to key locations”.

“MTN’s available reserves of diesel are running low and the

“If diesel supplies are not received within the next 24
hours the network will be seriously degraded and customers will feel the
impact.”
