Some Lagos residents on Saturday urged the Federal Government to address the lingering fuel scarcity in the state, to make life more meaningful for the people as commuters now waste a lot of time at bus stops
Fuel queues were long at most filling stations around the state, slowing down traffic on major highways.
An artisan, Mr Yusuf Ismaila, said he was at a filling station for over two hours and was not been able to buy fuel.
“I do not know why we suffer for basically everything in this country.
“There is no frequent power supply and now that we have a generator to use, getting fuel is also a problem.
“I have been on the queue for over two hours,” he said.
Ismaila advised government to tackle the fuel shortage and to also address the epileptic power supply in the country.
Commuters now pay more for a trip from Ikotun to CMS on Lagos Island, which used to cost N300 now attracting between N350 and N400.
Some attendants at the stations said on condition of anonymity that they were selling at the price they got the new stock, which they said, was now higher.
