Many Filling stations are still empty while the few that sold petrol have long queues of vehicles.

Those that have the product were dispensing at N195 per litre while the NNPC Limited Retail stations were dispensing N194 per litre in Abuja.

A good number of the filling stations were seen without having the product.

In Abuja City centre, NNPC Limited Mega station by Church Gate and NNPC Limited retail station at Zone 1, Wuse were seen with long queues of vehicles.

Conoil and TotalEnergies filling stations, opposite NNPC Limited Towers also had long queues of vehicles.

The situation is also the worse along Nyanya-Keffi high way, as many filling stations did not have petroleum product, while along Lugbe, Airport road, queues were seen at Danmana, NIPCO, Shafa and AA Rano filling stations.

Many motorist expressed dissatisfaction over the non availability of the product, adding that the situation was frustrating and demoralising as they normally stay over the next day to get fuel.

“I usually queue till 12 midnight and the next day to get fuel. If not, my taxi business will suffer a loss,” Mr Ismaila Jimoh said.

My Sadiq Yakubu said though he was on Coupon Queue, to be charged through his credit card but it had not been easy, calling on the Federal Government to hasten up with laudable decision to resolve it.

Mr Peter Okpe, Manager, TotalEnergies station who appealed to the government to find lasting solution to the crisis said though it always served motorists for 24 hours but its queues had become too long because enough product was not in circulation.

President Muhammadu Buhari recently approved the constitution of a 14-man Steering Committee on Petroleum Products Supply and Distribution management to find lasting solution to disruptions in the supply and distribution of petroleum products.

The price of Petrol rose to N340 per litre in Dutse, the Jigawa State Capital.

The situation has subjected the residents especially and motorists to untold hardship due to the scarcity of the commodity .

The filling stations are selling the product at exorbitant cost of N340 per litre while the Dutse NNPC mega station Retail stations has been under locked and key since Jan. 8 following fire outbreak.

Also, most of the filling stations within the city were also not opened for a long period of time.

A visit to Awajil Global Resources, IMG Petroleum and Maruta Petroleum. and Investment, all along Ibrahim Aliyu bypass, motorists and commercial motorcyclists were spotted on long queues waiting to refuel their tanks.

Also, Audu Manager filling station and AA Kankani Nig. Ltd, along Olusegun Obasanjo road had long queues of vehicles, and were also selling the product at the same price.
