Traffic has drastically reduced in the streets of Uyo, the Akwa Ibom State capital, and other major towns in the state due to continuous increase in the price of fuel in the last two weeks.
This has caused some passengers resorting to trekking while many have reduced the frequency of their journeys because of high cost of transportation being experienced in the state. Residents have expressed reservations and disgust over a directive by the Chairman of the state Task Force on Petroleum Monitoring, Mr. Victor Etefia, asking them to report stations dispensing at more than N300 per litre, arguing that such directive was illegal as the federal government is yet to announce an increase in the price of the product.
