Nigeria: Fuel Scarcity Nationwide Over Dollar Rate

Fuel scarcity has hit a number of states and major cities across Nigeria due to non-availability of dollar in the foreign exchange markets, Tribune reports.

According to reports, marketers were finding it difficult to source for dollars to finance importation of the petroleum products. In Lagos, most filling stations visited on Sunday were out of stock, while those selling had long queues of vehicles at their stations.

The NNPC filling station at Oregun and Capital Oil filling station situated on Lagos-Ibadan Expressway were dispensing with noticeable queue. In Ibadan, Oyo State, most filling stations remained shut against motorists, as operators claimed they were out of stock.
