Motorists groan as fuel crisis lingers nationwide

Motorists  faced hard times as the fuel crisis situation continued across the country over the weekend with long queues witnessed in almost all the petrol stations selling the products.

The situation was worsened by  the fact that a number of the petrol stations were shut, with the attendants claiming that they do not have products in their tanks.

Motorists besieged the few petrol stations that are selling the product, spending between four and six hours on the queue in some cases.

At the NNPC mega station, Katampe, along the Abuja-Kaduna expressway, about 300 cars were on the queue struggling to buy the products.
A similar scenario was witnessed in almost all the petrol stations dispensing the product at the Central Business District.

At the NIPCO petrol station at Arab Road in Kubwa,  large number of vehicles were struggling to purchase the product, leading to a gridlock which made it difficult for other road users to ply the road.

In Gwarimpa, most of the petrol stations were shut, while the few that had the product were besieged by a large number of motorists.
Same situation played out in Utako, Jabi, Maitama, Dutse, Garki, Nyanya, Wuse, Asokoro and Airport Road among others.

To make matters worse, a number of the petrol stations besieged by motorists were dispensing fuel to vehicles using only  two pumps.


One of the marketers in one of the petrol stations told Vanguard that it resorted to the use of only two pumps because the tanks that service the other pumps were empty.
