Badagry residents stranded, petrol hits ₦1,000 per litre amid fuel scarcity

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) correspondent, who monitored the situation, reports that many workers and businessmen were sighted waiting endlessly at some bus stops due to unavailability of vehicles.

NAN further reports that the situation led to a hike in transport fares as a litre of petrol in the area now sells as high as 1,000, while fares rose from 800 to 1,500 from Badagry to Mile 2.

At some popular bus stations in Badagry – Aradagun, Mowo, and Agemowo, scores of residents were seen struggling to enter a few available taxis and commercial buses.
