Incase you didn’t know,there is currently fuel scarcity in major parts of Abuja. It started on Monday due to the ongoing strike by oil workers mainly because of the withdrawal of the operationg license of the NNPC/Department of Petroleum Resources, DPR closed pension scheme.
Other demands are also being made by the protesting workers which include the resuscitation of some dead refineries in the country. However,the effect of the strike is being felt as long queues have become very visible at filling stations around the Federal Capital Territory.
At the Astoma filling station, by Banex Bridge, motorists were involved in physical scuffle in an attempt to manipulate their ways into the station. Black market dealers were also stationed along the roads as 10 litres now go for N2’500 with an additional N200 bribe.
Also, at some other filling stations, people had to bribe their way in with the payment of N500 while most filling stations remained shut with signs of ‘NO FUEL’ boldly written.
