Long queue for petrol.
Dual crisis of chronic fuel shortages and an huge increase in petrol prices, have spelt more frustration for Nigerians.
Despite being one of the world’s top oil producers, Nigeria relies on petroleum products imported by the State-run oil company, as it has little working refining capacity.
Petrol stations owned by the Nigerian National Petroleum Compoany Limited (NNPCL) have the cheapest fuel on sale in comparison to private operators.
When it puts up prices, so do independent garages.
Currently, as people queue for hours for petrol, they compelled pay anywhere between N1,000 and N1,300 a litre at fuel garages in the coming days.
