The high cost of petroleum products in Kaduna State has crippled socio-economic activities as residents paid high transport fares and witnessed low business
Many business owners said they witnessed low sales and patronage despite end of month salaries paid to workers by their employers.
A spare parts seller at Television Garage, Emeka Ogbonna, said: “The business has been at a low level since the beginning of fuel subsidy removal. In a whole day, sometimes I don’t sell anything. For me to come to shop is another issue because of high transport fare.” LEADERSHP Friday correspondent who visited many filling stations within the Kaduna metropolis reports that filling stations were selling the product at high prices.
At A.A Rano filling station, Command Junction, a litre of fuel was sold at N550 to users though there was no fuel queue. One of the motorists, who identified himself as Jude lamented: “We are in for it. I just bought my fuel now. I bought it at N550 per litre. The government must do something for the masses.”
