More retail outlets shut as fuel scarcity worsens in Lagos

Many fuel stations failed to open for motorists on Monday as sudden re-appearance of queues at available stations in the Lagos metropolis became chaotic arising from traffic jam.

Most filling stations that opened for business were dispensing with one or two pumps and this created long queues and panic among motorists as well as other users who had besieged the stations.

Lagos zonal chairman of NUPENG, Alhaji Nujeemdeen Korodo told Daily Trust on Monday that, though there is inadequate fuel supply from the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), the strike embarked upon by the Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria (PENGASSAN), created panic buying in Lagos.
