File: Fuel queue
Long queues built up in filling stations across Lagos State on Friday, creating fears of impending fuel scarcity.
Our correspondent, who went around the city, gathered that the queues in some of the filling stations affected the free flow of traffic.
At the AP filling station in Alapere, commuters were held in traffic on Friday morning as vehicle owners and individuals struggled to buy fuel.
The station stopped dispensing fuel later in the day.
There was a long queue at the Conoil filling station in the same Alapere, while TotalEnergies in the axis was not seen to be dispensing fuel.
It was observed that many stations did not dispense fuel and this mounted pressure on the few ones where the product was available.
The NNPC station at Fadeyi did not sell petrol as of noon.
Our correspondent reports that NIPCO also recorded a long queue of vehicles waiting to get Premium Motor Spirit.
Also, there was a long queue at the AP fuel station in Onipanu.
The Mobil filling stations along Palmgrove, Alausa and Mile 2 did not open for PMS sale on Friday.
The NNPC, Mobil, TAS, NIPCO, Enyo, As-Salam and other filling stations along the Mowe-Ibafo route in Ogun State did not sell petrol too.
In the same vein, Capital and Enyo at Berger did not open to sell PMS as at the time of filing this report.
