The scarcity has triggered an alarming hike in transport fares across the affected states.
Numerous filling stations closed due to a notable shortage in the supply of PMS to these regions.
This issue compounded the woes of motorists and businesses alike, resulting in long queues at the few operational stations, particularly those near the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC) headquarters in Abuja.
Amidst the crisis, there’s a glimmer of hope as industry leaders anticipate the commencement of operations at the Dangote Petroleum Refinery, which is expected to alleviate the fuel scarcity.
Furthermore, the Port Harcourt Refining Company is also projected to begin producing refined petroleum products soon, adding another potential solution to the ongoing fuel challenges.
