Nigerians have continued to bear the brunt of fuel subsidy removal in recent time as the supply of the product remains unstable and the price constantly increasing.
A recent investigation by Daily Trust in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) and many states across Nigeria revealed that the product sells for close to N1,000 per litre at some stations belonging to members of the Independent Petroleum Marketers’ Association of Nigeria (IPMAN) in satellite towns of the FCT.
The investigation further revealed how motorists spend countless hours queuing at outlets of the Nigeria National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) (and other filling stations selling the fuel at relatively lower price.)
As the fuel scarcity persists, the price has also hit high.
In Lagos, some residents were seen buying fuel in Jerry cans on Sunday as the city witnesses yet another round of fuel shortages and gridlock at filling stations.
