Fuel crisis has hit Kwara State again, especially Ilorin
metropolis.

Our correspondent, who monitored the development
in Ilorin on Saturday, observed that many petrol
stations were closed on account of scarcity of the
Premium Motor Spirit, popularly called petrol.
There were long queues in few petrol stations that
were dispensing. Most of the motorists and other
buyers who were lucky to buy some litres of petrol complained bitterly of the scarcity and the increase in
the price.

According to them, a litre of petrol is now sold for
N100 or more in the few filling stations that have the
product.

Our correspondent gathered that the fuel scarcity is
worse in the hinterland. It was also learnt that petrol
now sells for about N120 per litre or more in few
stations that still have it.

The Chairman, Independent Petroleum Marketers
Association, Olanrewaju Okanlawon, Ilorin depot, in a
telephone interview with our correspondent, said
marketers from the state have been unable to get more
supply from Lagos or other depots.
He stated that many of them do not have petrol in
their stations as, according to him, only a truck per
day is made available at the Oke-Oyi depot.

Okanlawon said, “There is no product in the system.
There is no fuel in Lagos to get to Ilorin. Presently in
all the private depots in Lagos that we are buying from
are selling the product at N92 or N93 per litre.

“That is why many people stayed off from buying the
product. Even the Nigerian National Petroleum
Corporation does not have the product.

“Ibadan does not have product and Ilorin has not
been loading. They are just giving us one truck per day
in Musomi depot. People are selling N100 and above
because they bought at a higher price. Infact many of
us are not even selling because we do not even have
the product.”
