- Fuel scarcity has continued to bite hard in Lagos and many other cities across Nigeria
- Motorists and other consumers of the product have continued to groan over the hike in pump price
- Black market traders of petrol have been smiling to the bank as some motorists rather patronise them than spend hours in queues
In the last two months, Nigerians have been enduring frustrating queues caused by scarcity and a hike in the pump price of petrol. Today, many filling stations in Lagos, Nigeria’s commercial capital, are selling petrol for as much as N350 depending on the location and the time of the day.
The scarcity intensifies by the day, with motorists and other consumers of the product spending long hours at filling stations and wasting man hours that could have been put into more productive activities.
