Amazing! Nigerian Man Develops App That Will Bring Fuel To Your Doorstep by andertoph(m): 7:01pm On Apr 08, 2016
One young man is
taking the Nigerian fuel crisis into his own hands, quite literally according to CNN.

"It's insane," said Subomi Owo-Odusi,
founder of FueledUp,
describing the interest in his business, an app due to launch at the end of May that will
deliver fuel straight
to its users in Lagos.

"A lot of people are keen," he said.

"This will take away
a lot of the pain and
pressure and stress
of people waiting for
hours," said the 23-
year-old Owo-Odusi,
describing the situation in Nigeria, which is witnessing another round of fuel shortages and leaving many to wait in line for hours.
Nigeria is no stranger
to a fuel crisis.

Despite being Africa's
largest oil producer, it
had massive fuel shortages a year ago
which nearly paralyzed the country. Long lines
became the norm,
and crowds of people
had to push their
way through gas
stations with jerry
cans at hand.

In the past several
days, the ongoing
shortage of fuel has
hit another crisis
point and many locals
have taken to social
media to vent their
frustration. Fuel is used not just for cars and trucks in Nigeria, but also commonly used to
power generators for
homes and businesses across the country.

Many Nigerians commonly have limited
electricity daily.

Working in a fuel
distribution company for the past two years, Owo-Odusi said the idea came to him from his
experiences of life in
Lagos. "I understand
the stress that people here have," said the enthusiastic Lagos native.

How it works?

After downloading
the app, users will be
able to touch a "Get
Fueled Up" button, which shows the price per liter. Then, the user enters how much fuel they need, vehicle information and choose a delivery time frame.

There are three tiers:
priority which delivers
in 30 minutes to an
hour, expectant which promises delivery in 30 minutes to two hours, and flexible which has a
three hour guarantee.

"Delivering on time, in
traffic-laden Lagos, is
the major priority,"
said Owo-Odusi.
