Fuel Scarcity Spreads Across Lagos

Fuel scarcity which resurfaced in parts of Lagos early this week has spread to nooks and crannies of the state amidst rising concerns from motorists over the cause of the scarcity.

Daily Trust checks on Wednesday revealed that many filling stations across the state are shut while only few stations dispensing fuel are experiencing long queues.

Our correspondent who went round Lagos metropolis also observed lighter traffic movement in some parts of the state like Murtala Muhammed Airport road inbound Ikeja traffic.

Also, no filling station was dispensing fuel at Oba Akran Avenue as the only major marketer selling the product abruptly stopped, claiming they have run out of stocks.

Also at Agidingbi Ikeja, a Mobil filling station is not dispensing.

Our correspondent however learnt that some independent filling stations dispensing fuel are selling at N210, N215 and N220 per litre as against N169- N170 which is the government regulated price for the NNPC retail outlets and the major marketers across the country.

A motorist, Mr. Lukman, told our correspondent that the fuel situation may not improve anytime soon, saying the scarcity has spread to Lagos metropolis.
