Fresh fuel scarcity hits Abuja, long queues at filling stations

There is palpable fear among motorists and residents of Abuja over a fresh fuel scarcity as long queues for petrol have resurfaced in the nation’s capital.

It is however not clear why the petrol queues are back in the Federal Capital Territory.

Motorists had difficulty between Saturday and Sunday trying to get the product as many petrol stations were closed.

The few selling the product had long queues.

The development is coming weeks after parts of the country witnessed petrol scarcity.

In April, the national assembly approved the request of President Muhammadu Buhari for N4 trillion as petrol subsidy.

The two chambers of the national assembly approved the President’s request after they had revised the 2022 medium term expenditure framework (MTEF) and fiscal strategy paper (FSP).
