Fuel stations shut in Kano as fear of scarcity looms
Investigations by the News Agency of Nigeria in some of the LGAs revealed that most of the filling stations had remained closed since last week when the rumour of the price hike filtered into the state.
This is coming inspite the warning by the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation that the Federal Government has not increased the price. He said motorists had resorted to buying the commodity from black marketers, due to the closure of the filling stations in the town. “But the moment you go beyond Gwarzo town, you will see filling stations selling the product at the government-approved price of N145 per litre,” he said.
