Queues build up nationwide as fuel crisis continues

There is no respite in sight for Nigerians as the fuel crisis, which began in November 2017, continued on Thursday, Premium Times reports.

Most filling stations were out of fuel despite claims by the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) that it increased its allocations to meet growing demands. Apart from the NNPC mega filling station in the Central Business District of Abuja and a few others in the outskirts of the city, it was observed on Thursday that several other filling stations did not have products. In Kaduna, the fuel supply situation has not been different from the harrowing experience in other parts of the country.

In Maiduguri, residents continue to groan in pain against worsening fuel scarcity even as Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), otherwise known as petrol now sells for between N220 and N210 per litre. However, in Uyo, petrol dealers in Akwa Ibom seem to have to an understanding to sell fuel at a common price, as most of the fillings stations within Uyo and its environs are selling petrol at N190 per litre.
