Fuel: Scarcity Lingers As Petrol Now Sold For N350 Per Litre In Abuja

The ongoing fuel scarcity in several parts of the country is worsening as reports have revealed that motorists in Abuja bought petrol between N300 and N350 per litre.

As reported by Punch, residents in the region decried the spike in PMS price and the challenges involved in getting the product.

One of the motorists, Michael Adebanjo, disclosed that black marketers sold fuel between N300 to N350 as of Monday.

"I’ve been buying from black marketeers between N300 to N350 per litre. There is no fuel in most filling stations in Abuja.

"The ones that have, there’s a very long queue. Since I don’t have the time to wait, I often resort to the black market", he said.

A second motorist who identified himself as Ubong Edet revealed that even though he was able to purchase the product for N250 at a filling station during the weekend, the difficulty in getting it after then made him buy it at N300 per litre at the black market.

"I bought for N250 on Saturday. I had to join a very long queue before I could even get it that day. Today, it was even more difficult.

"The queues are something else. So I decided to buy black market today. I bought it for N300 per litre."
