Petrol scarcity hit different parts of Nigeria on Tuesday, forcing motorists to spend hours at filling stations while battling to get the product.
NwafoLive discovered that black marketers had a field day, selling a litre of fuel at N300-N400 in many parts of the country.
Many motorists were forced to patronise them as the unpalatable alternative was to wait for hours in filling stations.
Amid long queues and waiting hours in Lagos, some filling stations sold a litre of the Premium Motor Spirit at N200/litre as against the approved price of N180-N185/litre.
On visiting some fuel stations around Ajah and Lagos Island areas on Monday and Tuesday, NwafoLive witnessed long queues at the few stations that managed to sell.
A commuter named; Chidozie Ahunnaya vented his frustration at the Federal Government, saying
“This is not December yet and we are having, I think the third fuel scarcity now. I am even scared of traveling back to East due to this issue. I wonder why the FG is not doing anything to stop this situation”
