Long queues of vehicle have resurfaced at filling stations in Abuja following a widespread rumor of an impending increase in the pump price of fuel.
Reporting from the nation’s capital, our correspondent observed that at least one filling station, Con Oil, ran out of fuel and was forced to close the station.

At the Total filling station in the Central Business District, the queue extended towards the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) building.

Queues were noticed in other stations in the city while black marketers went to the streets to sell their product.

The sudden rush to purchase fuel ahead of Christmas and New Year celebrations was prompted by a rumor that the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) would soon increase the pump price of petroleum.

However, the NNPC debunked the rumor and assured Nigerians that it has no plans to increase prices both at the pump and ex-depot level.

It has reached Port Harcourt, somebody is not telling the truth.

This is the change the vegetable from daura promised us, I have been in queue since yesterday.

Shoprite Abuja, airport road was opened last week. Myself and three of my colleagues decided to go there for shopping. The management were waiting for the FCT minster to declare open the store and the minister was delaying. There was almost a stampede as people were trying to rush in and so. A senior police officer made a statement i countered. He said ''You Nigerians are just the problem but when you leave the shores of this country, you behave yourself''. I think he was just right.

I drove from my office at central area to lugbe and passed through almost 6 filling stations yesterday. They were all selling. But there is just this panic buy everywhere. I still don't know why we put ourselves inside problems. IPMAN said they might increase pump price, NNPC debunked the news. We should all just keep going through our activities jeje. Even if you buy 200 litres now, you will still finish it. As for me whenever my fuel drops to the last stick level, I park my car and start taking public transport.

My resolution is simple at this age. I won't do any stupid queuing up again in my life. Life is easy.

The truth is fuel pump price still stands at 145. Nigerians are the ones buying out of panic. NNPC fixes pump price not IPMAN. so if IPMAN has issues they should go and resolve it. So far NNPC says no wahala. I also think the federal govt needs to give licences to many more marketers so that these few that formed a cabal already won't be holding 180 million Nigerian to ransom eveyrtime. They are so used to the days of making almost 500% profit. They still make their profits but want more. Greed is all I see. Give about 1000 more individuals licences to import and trade and stop the monopoly enjoyed by these few marketers. VERY SIMPLE AND EASY

na wa o

it's not funny anymore as most filling stations are not selling

FG confused, Buhari confused, NNPC confused, these clowns cant provide comman fuel for nigerians.

Just increase if you want to...

Why are you making people suffer?

Same Situation In Calabar

APC can deny anything
Even after denying, don't be surprised if they come out tomorrow and say that they have set up a committee to handle the issue

Who doesnt know this government is one of treacherous liars

And one idiot from Imo state is planning to create another portfolio; commissioner for petrol queues

Also in Ogun State.
May God help us.
