FUEL SCARCITY HITS ABUJA AS LONG QUEUES ENCROACHES PETROL STATIONS


Fuel scarcity has significantly impacted the Nigerian capital, Abuja, manifesting in extensive queues at petrol stations throughout the city. 

This situation has given rise to traffic congestion in certain areas, exacerbating the challenges faced by commuters and commercial drivers. 

Notably, some filling stations have been observed to be closed, while others exhibit prolonged lines of vehicles awaiting the opportunity to purchase fuel.

One particular instance at the Fynefield filling station in Apo Resettlement stands out, where gates were locked, impeding the entry of new vehicles. 

The queues at retail outlets operated by the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Limited, known for offering fuel at a comparatively lower price, have worsened, contributing to traffic buildup in the Central Business District Area.

Adding to the complexity, various filling stations across the city are selling fuel at elevated prices, ranging from N617 to N680. 

This pricing variability further intensifies the challenges faced by consumers during this period of scarcity. 

Moreover, black market activities have surged as opportunistic sellers take advantage of the situation, capitalizing on the desperation of individuals seeking fuel by offering it at even higher prices.

In response to the prevailing circumstances, the spokesperson for NNPC Ltd, Olufemi Soneye, has sought to reassure the public. 

Despite the observable challenges on the ground, Soneye asserts that there is no scarcity of fuel. 

He emphasizes that there is an abundance of products available and urges the public not to be alarmed. 

However, the specific cause or causes behind the fuel scarcity remain undisclosed at this point, leaving room for speculation and concern among the affected population.

...to walk down that aisle.  The spirit of motivational speaking left me, the spirit of boldness left me. My mind wasn’t at peace. I stood up gently and walked out of the auditorium, not minding if there was heavy downpour. I walked into the rain, I was soaked but it didn’t matter. “Excuse me madam” a lady’s voice screamed behind me. But I didn’t turn. I drove off that evening, in my wet body. *** The next morning, I woke up in pains. I felt my panties wet. I knew something was wrong, I dipped my hands into my panties and saw blood. It was menses, I cleaned up and prepared the kids for school. As I alighted from the car to drop them in their classes, a woman dressed in a corporate attire approached me. “You are so weak, why did you allow a common maid to take away your husband?” she asked boldly. But I didn’t reply. I dodged her and took the kids to their classes. As I drove home, my phone rang. It was Salma the choir mistress of hills ministries. I picked the call reluctantly. “He...
