Fuel Scarcity in Lagos: The Reason Behind It

All around Lagos, long queues have taken over as most petrol stations have to deal with customers in a frenzy. Some other stations, however, have unceremoniously closed shop, reinforcing the omen that a fuel scarcity is coming.
However, the Group General Manager, Group Public Affairs, NNPC, Mr. Ohi Alegbe has on Tuesday said that the queues are due to panic-buying because of a reduced truckload of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) from Apapa depots due to construction gridlocks in the areas.

NNPC has urged the marketers affected by the road construction to load their goods from the NNPC inland depot in Mosimi to support what it described as the 'zero tolerance to fuel queues' policy across the country.
