Black marketers in
Kaduna state are having a field day as a result of the hike in the
price of petrol.
Many
filling stations in the ancient city have been closed, forcing motorists to
patronise those selling the product between N300 and N350 per litre.
Long
queues of vehicles were seen at different black market spots on the outskirts
of the city.
Fuel
scarcity has also led to an increase in the price of transport fares, with
passengers paying between N1,700 and N2000 to Abuja, a journey that cost N1,500
before scarcity.
Residents
have been lamenting over the current hardship, with many calling on the
government to find a solution.
