The fuel situations in
Abeokuta, Ogun State capital worsened on Tuesday as long queues surfaced in the
metropolis.
Our Correspondent who
monitored the situation reports that few of the stations with product to sell
recorded long queues along the Obantoko axis, on the old Abeokuta Ibadan road
and Abeokuta/Lagos road, around Ita oshin area.
Also, the Sokenu road,
Lafenwa recorded similar long queues, with virtually all filling stations along
the road closing their stations.
The development has
resulted in commuters getting stranded at bus stops, while the roads are
partially empty. Early traders and public servants heading to their various
places of trade and offices were seen scrambling for few commercial vehicles.
Some of officials of
the stations claimed that there was no stock and there is nothing they can do
while others with stock say they only got fuel late in night.
"This is why you
see the long queues here. The motorists wil be calling themselves to come to
the station," an official at Lafenwa filling station told our
Correspondent.
