Long queues of commercial buses, private cars, motorcycles and tricycles have returned to petroleum stations in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital. Our correspondent reports that this is due to the ongoing scarcity of petrol in the ancient city. DAILY POST reports that Ibadan has been witnessing a scarcity of PMS in the last few days.
The situation became severe on Monday when the majority of the petroleum stations shut down their operations. Petroleum stations in areas visited on Monday and Tuesday such as Bodija, Sango, Apete, Sango/ Eleyele Road, Agodi Gate and Secretariat Road have shut down their operations since Monday. This is responsible for the long queues being witnessed across the ancient city.
reports that only a few of the petroleum stations that belong to independent marketers in these areas are selling between N800 and N850. It was, however, observed that petroleum stations that belong to the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation Limited, NNPCL, have continued to sell for N580 per litre. Our correspondent reports that the situation has remained the same as of the time of filing this report on Tuesday.
in the Sango area noted that petrol stations he visited recently were selling between N800 and N850. He said, 'We are buying between N800 and N850. That is what they are selling to us. Some of the ones that were selling before are not selling again'.
