Fuel Scarcity Bites Harder In Sokoto, Black Marketers Sell Petrol N2,000/Litre
Residents in Sokoto State have continued to lament the untold hardship they are subjected to following the fuel scarcity being experienced in all parts of the state that has made businesses and other activities very difficult.
Commuters in the state said most filling stations are locked under the guise that they lack product to dispense, while black marketers are selling a litre of petrol between N2,000 and N2,500 across the metropolis.
Some residents who spoke with our correspondent called on the government to intervene to bring the situation under control so as not to degenerate.
They said the situation has started affecting business activities and making life difficult for people as the black market price of N2,500 per litre is becoming scarce and this is bringing business and other activities to a standstill in the metropolis.
Meanwhile, the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC Ltd) has blamed the fuel queues that have resurfaced in Lagos, Abuja and other states of the Federation on “logistics issues”.
