By Akinola Ajibade


Fuel scarcity is bitting harder nationwide, as queues take over major cities such as  Lagos,  Ibadan, Abuja and others.

The News Mirror findings reveal that most roads, especially highways in those cities area are occupy by motorists and passengers, who are  struggling to get fuel for their personal and commercial purposes.

At the various filling stations, visited by News Mirror in Lagos,  passengers formed a long queues, with  jerry cans in their hands and stand for hours under the sun, with a view to buy the product.

In Lagos and Ogun states, it was gathered that most filling stations are besieged with vehicles, in need of fuel.The outlets include those owned by Mobil, Capital, Fatgbems, Enyo, TotalEnergies NNPC and others in the nation's former capital.

Though, they were selling fuel at N165 per litre, many of the  motorists are still finding it difficult to get the product for use.

For instance, there were queues in states bordering Nassarawa and Niger. There were long queues at various filling stations such as the NNPC, Mobil, A.A. Rano, AYA Ashafa, Enyo, among others. Hundreds of motorists besieged the few filling stations that dispensed petrol at various states, spending hours on queues in a bid to buy PMS.

Oil marketers blamed the development on the drop in supply, stating that the demand for petrol was currently higher than what was being provided by the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited.

NNPC remains the sole importer of petrol into Nigeria, shouldering this responsibility for more then four years.
