Central to any long – term stability in fuel scarcity is the effective production, distribution and monitoring of petroleum products sales across filling stations by nations with oil subsidy policies. The use of modern information and communication technology (ICT) acts as a facilitator in assisting the monitoring committee and the public in knowing which filling station has been allocated product and the quantity of petroleum product for any given filling station at any given time in the country. This paper, presents an Object Role Model of a highly scalable Distributed Database System designed to accommodate all data entities which include the quantity of fuel usage, number of filling station, quantity of fuel distributed, quantity imported, companies paid subsidy and companies owed. Other entities include quantity of petroleum refined locally and the location of the filling stations allocated. These data entities provide information that the public, fuel marketers, price monitoring team and the government can use in restoring normalcy in the chaotic fuel situation in Nigeria. The system will provide a central communication link among the stakeholders to enhance and facilitate harmony and the overall development of the petroleum sub sector of the national economy.
