Long queues and frustration have returned to Lagos as fuel scarcity gripped the metropolis, disrupting transportation and daily activities for many residents.
Our findings showed most filling stations in Lagos including major energy marketers outlets, were shut to motorists.
A visit to key areas like Ikeja, Ikorodu, and Lagos Island revealed a stark picture. Once bustling filling stations stand deserted, their pumps idle and tanks empty.
The few that opened to the public had long queues of vehicles at their pumps; most of the stations dispensing petrol did so using only one pump, thereby aggravating the queues.
Motorists express their anger and disappointment, narrating tales of spending hours in queues only to be turned away. Many fear the situation will worsen, impacting their livelihoods and daily routines.
