A review of fuel stations across Abuja on Tuesday, October 10, revealed that fuel queues have returned to the Federal Capital Territory of Abuja. Meanwhile, pump prices have stayed the same at less than N700 per litre.

 

As of Tuesday afternoon, and early evening, the fuel queues had started building up and many commuters have started feeling the heat as transportation prices have increased.

 

However, the intensity of the situation is not at an alarming rate yet.

 

This is because ever since the fuel subsidy was officially removed in May 2023, many residents (pedestrians and motorists) particularly in the Federal Capital Territory have resorted to managing their movements, they only go out when it is necessary; for work (official and side hustles) and academic reasons.

 

However, there are still many residents who are on the road daily and now must pay astronomical amounts of money to get to work and school because of the return of fuel queues in the city.
