Kaduna experiences long queues as fuel scarcity continues

 
What is our government driving at?
Motorists  in Kaduna, Kaduna State,  on Wednesday  formed long queues at  filling stations following continued scarcity of petrol.
A cross-section of the motorists told Journalists that only few stations had supplies and they were selling at the government approved pump price of N97 per litre.
However, black market operators have taken over major streets of the metropolis,  selling a litre of petrol for N200.
Mr Abubakar Ahmad, a motorist, said he had been on the queue for almost eight hours waiting to purchase the commodity, adding that motorists had been  experiencing the  scarcity on daily basis for over two weeks.
Another motorist, Kanu Stephen, said he had been on the queue for seven hours hoping to get the commodity.
A manager in one of the filling stations, Thomas Ishaku, said his station was expecting supply because it had  not received supplies for close to a week.
A black market operator  revealed that motorists were  buying the products  from him  despite the high price `` because they wanted to avoid the stress at filling stations''.
According to him, he makes N100,000 daily since the state started experiencing fuel scarcity.
