THE fuel scarcity that rocked Abuja and some states across the country in the past few weeks seems to have hit Lagos.

In many fuel stations in Lagos State yesterday, long queues of vehicles were seen reportedly over fear that petrol would not be available in the next few days.

The imbroglio between marketers and the Federal Government over non-payment of petroleum subsidy to the former had sparked a strike that paralyzed Abuja.

The marketers gave the government two weeks to resolve the verification claims on those that collected money without supplying the product. They threatened to embark on a full scale strike if at the end the Federal Government fails to resolve the issue and pay them their outstanding.

Fuel scarcity in lagos city what a pity,when we are a oil rich city,

From the bolded below, it seems that there is no fuel scarcity, but fuel panic buying /hoarding. The title of this thread may be misleading.

Na wow oo I hope this issue is taking care of soon. We cannot afford another round of fuel scarcity at this time.

I don't think so because states like osun and oyo experienced fuel scarcity before it finally hit lagos.

Naija!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I comment my reserve.

I think it's panic buying. I got out this morning and saw a crazy queue, but when I saw it again at Mobil station at Lateef Jakande Rd, I quickly drove straight to gtb ATM, withdrew some cash and joined the queue!

Panic buying.

Example of panic buying. Now people will see this topic, rush out and join queue.

DE JA VU

some of the petrol stations in alagbole/akute are not selling,maybe they are keeping it

That is how the thing started here in Port Harcourt 3 weeks ago and up till now there seems to be no relief. The good part though is that there is an alternative if you don't want to queue and that is at N120 a litre.

E don happen!
