Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Queues have resurfaced in fuel stations in Ilorin, as petrol scarcity spreads across the country.<\/p>\n

A litre of petrol sells for between N640, N645, N670 and N680 in major marketers filling stations, while the price has gone up to N900, N950 or N1,000 in some fuel stations owned by Independent fuel marketers in Ilorin, the Kwara State capital.<\/p>\n

Most filling stations were under lock and key as of the time of this report as they claimed to be out of stock.<\/p>\n

A manager of one of the independent marketers, Tajudeen Balogun, who spoke to DAILY POST in Ilorin, lamented that \u201cthere is no importation or loading of petrol in Lagos again as the NNPC now remains the sole importer of the product.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said the situation will continue until the local four refineries are made to function to meet the dire needs of Nigerians.<\/p>\n

A top official of TotalEnergies in one of the filling stations in Ilorin, who confided in this medium, also could not give concrete reasons.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe only thing I know is that we are unable to load fuel in Lagos, because the product is not available presently,\u201d he stated, adding that \u201conly God can rescue the country from the present situation.\u201d<\/p>\n

The fuel scarcity and the increased cost per litre, have led to a spike in transport fares in the state capital, as commercial cab operators, including Okada and tricycle riders complain bitterly about the situation.<\/p>\n
