Fuel trucks have started arriving in Yei River town, where some institutions had suspended operations due to shortage of diesel.

Insecurity along major roads linking the state to the neighbors had prevented business companies from supplying fuel to the area.

Last month, the Yei Teachers Training College, Kagelu Forestry Training Centre and Emmanuel Training College suspended their activities due to fuel shortage.

Yei Crop Training center also suspended its education service until further notice.

After the trucks arrived yesterday, many refilling stations have resumed operation.

“The gas stations in Yei are all open and both petrol and diesel are available,” said Mohamed Ahmed oil dealer.

“We hope for peace and stability to prevail to continue with our business.”

A liter of petrol currently costs 75 Pounds, a sharp drop from 250 Pounds in the black market.
