Motorists Lament Difficulty As Fuel Queues Return

Motorists in search of fuel at an NNPC station in Abuja

 

The queues for petrol have gone worse in some parts of the country especially in Abuja, the nation’s capital.

Motorists besieged the few outlets that were open for business in the FCT.

Some of the motorists who spoke with Channels Television say they spend as much as five hours to access fuel.

This comes against the backdrop of speculations that the pump price of petrol may be increased.

However, the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) insists that there is no increment in the ex-depot price of petrol.

The Corporation also stated that it has enough stock of petrol to keep the nation well supplied for over 40 days and therefore, urged motorists to avoid panic buying.
