Nigerians groan as fuel scarcity bites harder (Video)

Despite assurances by the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) that it has resolved the cause of fuel shortages in the country as well as addressing the logistics causing the recent fuel scarcity, long queues have surfaced in major Nigerian cities as motorists have struggled to buy petrol.

A survey around major cities like Abuja, Lagos, Kano, Jos, Kaduna, Uyo and Calabar, on Monday, witnessed long queues as a fresh round of fuel scarcity hit the nation.

NNPCL spokesman, Olufemi Soneye, had in a statement last week, assured that the company has put all logistics in place to avoid fuel scarcity and also emphasised that the prices of petroleum products were not changing.
