Nigeria Fuel Scarcity: Abuja workers to stay at home from Monday


There may be total paralyses of economic and commercial activities in Abuja, the Nigerian federal capital territory, except there is an urgent improvement in the availability of petroleum products in the territory.


 Fuel stations seem to have exhausted their supplies while black market hawkers continue to make brisk business, selling a litre of premium motor spirit, PMS {petrol}between N250 and N300.

DAILY POST checks revealed that many government workers and those in the private sector are preparing for the worst as the scarcity of petrol worsens, with many saying they may just have to stay back at home since they have not been able to fuel their cars while most commercial vehicles have practically being taken out of the roads.

Some of the workers, has  decried the current situation, asking if it is justifiable to buy fuel at N300 per litre in order to go to work when even the government has not been able to pay salaries.


What a shame for a country that produces crude oil.
