Recent observations reveal significant challenges for motorists and consumers in the FCT and other states. At some stations in the satellite towns of Abuja, petrol prices have surged to nearly ₦1,000 per litre. Meanwhile, in Abuja’s city center, motorists face long waits at NNPCL and a few major oil company stations, with some stations not dispensing fuel at all.
The Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN) blames the shortage on a lack of direct supply from NNPCL. A former IPMAN chairman, Akin Akinade, noted that members are forced to buy from third-party suppliers at higher rates.
In Abuja, several fuel stations were closed yesterday, and operational ones saw long queues. For example, Umaru Ngelzarma Filling Station in Lokogoma was selling petrol for ₦980 per litre, while Christee’s Petrol Station in the same area charged ₦950 per litre. NNPCL stations were also crowded, with prices varying widely.
In Lagos, fuel prices at NNPCL stations were around ₦568 per litre, while other stations charged between ₦600 and ₦650 per litre. Commercial drivers expressed frustration with the steep prices and scarcity, which has significantly impacted their businesses.
In Kano, independent stations were selling fuel for ₦950 per litre, while NNPCL stations offered it at ₦620. Fuel prices in Maiduguri were also high, with most NNPCL stations closed. IPMAN officials attributed the situation to disruptions caused by recent protests.
In Oyo State, fuel prices ranged from ₦850 to ₦900 per litre, with black market prices even higher.
The Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria (HURIWA) criticized the federal government for its handling of the fuel crisis, accusing NNPCL of not addressing the issue effectively and suggesting that the company might be benefiting from the situation.
As of now, NNPCL has not provided an official statement regarding the ongoing fuel scarcity.
