Just Tuesday the fuel scarcity seems to have vanished in the FCT, as a matter of fact i had to choose from a no of available filling station in my area, because there was no queue at all, residents were celebrating, hope was rekindled, residents of other states started to have glimpse of hope that sooner or later the distribution will circulate.
Fast forward to today(Fri, 8, Apr) the queues ar back and its even worse than ever, I have been here for more than a hour and its as if the queue is not even moving. Naija which way na

The fuel queues never left

This present APC administration would be remembered in history as the government of queues.

Kachiukwu just did April Fool in Abuja.They even had hope that bubu would give them fuel

Meanwhile, in Kaduna, marketers have taken advantage of the acute shortage to increase fuel price to N500 a litre as against the government regulated price of N86.50.

Our correspondent reported that only a handful of filling stations were seen dispensing the product at exorbitant rates with long queues of motorists desperate to purchase at any price.

Some filling station who were seen selling above the government regulated price along Kaduna-Abuja, Kaduna-Kachia and Kaduna-Zaria roads, suddenly stop dispensation of the product for fear of clampdown by the Department and Petroleum Resources (DPR), LEADERSHIP observed.

A motorist at one of filling stations along Nnamdi Azikiwe road, Nuhu Audi, who lamented the situation, said, “We are calling on government to ensure availability of the fuel in order to discourage such illegal sale of the product.”

Another motorists, Usman Mohammed, said: “How can a litre of fuel sell for between N400 and N500, even black marketers do not display their jerry cans anymore. No filling station is selling in the areas I passed through. This has never happened before in the history of this country,” he lamented.

Nawa oo .. And we don't seem to know what is causing this.. Yesterday I was watching the executive secretary of MOMAN on Sunrise daily on channels, he said that the fault is from the NNPC.. He said that NNPC allocated 70% import rights to themselves while sharing the remaining %30 to independent marketers. But the real problem is that NNPC doesn't have the capacity to import up to 30% talk more of 70%. Another problem is that NNPC in collaboration with CBN is frustrating their effort in obtaining FX from CBN because as at now, it takes them 4 weeks to complete the process of obtaining the FX to exhaust the 30% import right allocated to them. So they had to rely to banks which sells FX to them as high as N300/$.. Can you imagine? .. So the Channels guy asked him why they haven't reported the banks to CBN.. He said that they've reported them several times but they didn't do anything about it and that confirms their claim that NNPC is working with CBN to frustrate them.
