Long queues were also visible at few filling stations across the state, while motorcyclists and persons with jerrycans also besieged in their numbers
At a filling station around Shasha market, where vehicle owners had queued as early as 5 am, motorists could be heard expressing anger over the situation.
“This is just not acceptable anymore. At N500 and we are still struggling like this? We don’t know who will save us again because Nigerians are just fed up,” a driver vented his frustration.
Meanwhile, vehicular traffic on the roads in the city was scanty due to the scarcity of fuel.
