Long queues of vehicles, including commercial and private vehicles, motorcycles, and tricycles, have resurfaced in Ibadan, the Oyo state capital, due to the scarcity of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), also known as petroleum.
As of Monday morning, the queues were already forming, and they persisted throughout the day. Our correspondent observed that most petroleum stations in the area had locked their gates, with only a few remaining open for business.
The few stations that were still operating had long queues of vehicles waiting to buy fuel. The major marketer, NNPCL, was selling at the rate of N580 per liter, while independent marketers were selling between N700 and N800 per liter.
The affected areas include Sango, Bodija, the University of Ibadan, Agodi-Gate, Iwo Road, Idi Ape, Apete, Awotan, Monatan, Iyana Church, and Agbowo.
Motorists and commuters are advised to plan their journeys accordingly and consider alternative routes to avoid the congested areas.
The fuel scarcity has caused inconvenience and frustration for many residents, and it is hoped that the situation will improve soon.
