Despite assurance by Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation Limited (NNPC), fuel queues have worsened in Abuja and surrounding states where the majority of filling stations were shut and motorists spent hours in the sun struggling to buy from the few that were open.
The NNPC had said the country has enough of the commodity while the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDRA) also assured that bottlenecks affecting supply have been addressed.
The nation’s capital city, however, continue to witness heavy traffic as motorists jostled for fuel in long queues.
