Passengers Stranded As Fuel Scarcity Hits Lagos by treesun: 9:48am On Jun 20, 2022
Many passengers were stranded at various bus stops in Lagos State, Monday morning, as commercial vehicles were scarce on the road.

The scarcity of vehicles was attributed to the fuel scarcity, which was gradually building up in some parts of Lagos.

Our correspondent saw that many people were stranded at major bus stops along Ogba-Berger road, such as Aguda, college road, among others.

The situation was the same at bus stops around popular Berger as many passengers were already trekking.

Commercial drivers interviewed by our correspondent confirmed that the development was due to the fuel scarcity, particularly the Premium Motor Spirit.

A driver, identified simply as Mr. Babalola, said, “Ha, you people don’t know anything, there is no fuel. We are not the cause.”


Our correspondent saw that there was a long queue of vehicles at the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation’s station along Ogba_Aguda road, with many people struggling to buy fuel.

A passenger, who spoke with our correspondent lamented the development saying he had been at the bus stop for an hour.

“I don’t why they are making life hard for us in this country. Any small thing, the drivers have doubled the price. Our politicians will not address this problem now, they are only interested in the elections, a passenger identified simply as Sola Badmus, said.

“My brother, I’m just tired of this country, they want to cut short our lives, another passenger, who was yet to give his name, said, as he managed to scuffle for a bus that parked to convey passengers at Berger, under-bridge, for twice the usual price.

Fuel scarcity had been building up in some parts of the country before now. The PUNCH reported that the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, had recently been caught up in some fuel scarcity, with vehicles seen queuing up for fuel since May.

It's obvious APC has no single solution to any of the country problems, it has always been one step forward and ten steps backward.

Buhari is a scam! He told us fuel subsidy was a scam but little did we know who the real scammer was. Now, they want to impose on us an even greater scammer to build on his legacy

I have come to realize that people only hate APC on social media

In real life(During elections), Nigerians really love Buhari and APC.

They will come online and wail of suffering but during election they will still vote APC inflicting heavy suffering on them.
Suffering and smiling.

If you doubt me, let Buhari contest again for third term, you will be shocked at the massive figures he will pull and still win..

Nigerians problem is beyond ordinary.

It's getting harder by the day. Before this week runs out, diesel might hit 900/1000 if care is not taken (that is for the few places they are available). I know how much stress I passed through to fill tank on Saturday morning, that was when I had a hint that there's scarcity and not many stations have fuel. For some reasons, I hope this keeps getting worse let's see if that will elicit the necessary rage in most citizens so they can angrily respond with their PVCs. Like many people have said, 2023 will either make or mar Nigeria. Hardship no dey ask which tribe or party u belong, e dey touch everybody.

Time for subsidy to go

yes subsidy has to go, but you know that things have to be in place before it goes if not, we will all go crazy in this country because of the way things will sky rocket. Diesel is not subsidised yet you see the price it is at presently and the scarcity in the market too? If the refineries are not working (even at 50%), na die everybody dey cos we will all buy petrol at #350 plus, as every of our petrol needs will be imported. A whole lot is wrong with this country, we are collapsing under our own weight and faster too, how most people are not seeing it is my problem

From drinking kerosene, your parents are now drinking petrol. That is why fuel is scarce.

Time for subsidy to go

The fact is, the marketers are not earning enough to pay for their transport costs. And government has no money to pay for their transport costs, and diesel is not subsidised anymore.

So, the subsidy has to be removed in totality. Otherwise, we are going to have scarcity galore.

The truth is, when you bring in fuel at N330 and above and sell it at N165 , there would be a loss, and when the subsidy paid barely covers the loss, especially with rising crude prices pushing up the cost of making petrol and diesel....at one point, the cost of subsidy would have to increase...and Nigeria right now is spending a lot of money subsidsing fuel...which is why we are not 'benefiting' from the rise in crude oil prices.

Let's be honest. Subsidy goes...or we take more loans to cover up the resulting ballooning deficit. Whoever is in charge.
