Many
Nigerians on Sunday shelved their planned trips to different parts of the
country for Christmas, as the current scarcity of Premium Motor Spirit pushed
up transportation costs, with black market operators selling the product to
desperate motorists for as much as N400 per litre.
After
more than a year of relief from fuel scarcity in the country, fuel queues
returned to filling stations across the country in the first week of December
and has worsened since then.
In
Lagos, many filling stations were shut while the few that sold the product had
long queues of desperate motorists and other petrol seekers, with the
attendants having a field day as they charged between N200 and N500 extra
before selling to buyers in jerry cans.
