Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Fuel scarcity hit harder in Kaduna State on Monday, as workers, businessmen and travellers were left stranded at various bus stops and garages in Kaduna metropolis and its environs.<\/p>\n

DAILY POST reports that roads were deserted, leaving only pedestrians.<\/p>\n

Various filling stations were locked, while several number of vehicles queued waiting for the arrival of fuel.<\/p>\n

A litre of fuel, which sold for N1,000 Naira yesterday (Sunday) goes for N1500 in the black market today.<\/p>\n

Although the Kaduna State government had banned selling of fuel in Jerricans, car owners have been patronising black market since the scarcity hit the State.<\/p>\n

According to Mrs. Juliet Adama, \u201cI have stayed at Kakuri Bus stop trying to take a bus to Kawo since 6:00am, up till 9:00am, there is no vehicle.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome bus drivers drove pass us, saying they were looking for fuel, others were going to queue for fuel at filling stations.\u201d<\/p>\n

Also, Mr. Yohanna Madaki, who said he wanted to travel for a burial at Kafachan, said he cannot afford the cost of transportation.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome passengers have returned to their various homes. After staying for several hours, a passenger taxi came, and asked us to pay N5000. I cannot afford it. I am going back to my house,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Although, the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), had promised to supply enough fuel to ease transportation, the situation is not getting any better.<\/p>\n
