Queues for petrol have surfaced in Abuja as bad road networks on the Abuja-Lokoja expressway disrupted the supply of products to the northern part of the country.
An industry source who prefers anonymity said bad road networks caused the scarcity as tankers take longer hours to deliver fuel at stations. Speaking with Daily Sun, Abubakar Maigandi vice-president of Independent Petroleum Marketers of Nigeria , blamed the queues on the scarcity of petrol at depots owned by the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited .He said the development forced private depot owners to jack up the price from N148 per litre to between N170 and 175 per litre.
He said it takes several days to transport the commodity to Abuja and the northern parts of the country.
