Scarcity
of petrol in Lagos and other major cities across the country has forced
an increase in the pump price of the product. It is now selling at N120
per litre.
With
most filling stations still closing their gates to motorists for the
fifth day, the few that sold the product yesterday witnessed long queues
of motorists, who struggled to buy the product.In Abuja the scarcity is off and on, with petroleum product availability being unpredictable.In
most areas, the scarcity forced the price of the product to between
N110 and N120 per litre. Yet, hapless motorists queued up to buy.The
NNPC insists that it has a 30 reserve and can cater to the needs of
Nigeria, but this is often not felt as most marketers decry the lack of
products at major NNPC depots nationwide and have implored the NNPC to
make products available.
