 Commuters and legals are still groaning over the lingering fioscacity which has resulted in long queues at various fielding stations as well as hike and transport fares. Plus, civil news correspondent Emmanuel Eloubabaquon fills the polls of residents and what they have to go through to get the product. The long queues have been persistent since late 2022. Alignly, the situation has not abated, they still get. With the month of January and its start week, one thing is visible, the very poor traffic which the state is known for. However, residents are not happy with the state of affairs as of where crisis is seemingly unending. I'm very, very sad and not happy about this weather because since last week, yesterday I came here, I was at NSS but I stayed five hours before I got this weather. I don't know what is happening with this weather which I'm not happy and today again I came again. Since 7 o'clock I've been in queue and now it's almost five hours, I've not gotten so what is happening with Nigeria? The queue is over three hours now, there will be a queue. So how life you wear? So something that's about to enter under 10 minutes and I'll be on queue over three hours so I'm not okay at all at all. Fioscacity is too much, I've been going around like now and I stay at Agia but this is where I'm coming to buy for because the other side there is so much queue. So it's not easy for us to get fare, it's not easy for us to get fare so things are really difficult. The lamentations continue as this scarcity always takes up to long economic activities. Unsurprisingly transport fares and prices of commodities have got rocketed. The first price is the way it is because if you ask the transporter, they will ask you, they will tell you it's because of the fuel. The price that I buy is fuel and to me from my experience, even the government also said they don't know anything about fuel. I mean they have no increased fuel and fuel is out there. Why the masses have said they don't see fuel but like it's scarce, for them to buy they have to have money. This first scarcity started since December, it's been so high. Like now from here, from this fall or more roundabout to like where it's 1,000 before you can get it 500, 600 but now 1,000 accept you beg and beg and beg for they can collect that 100 and that is if you meet a nice people. People who don't have car, even to get a vehicle to their destinations is very hard for them and the bus drivers are not really even doing well. Well, we don't blame them because the fuel price is higher. So the transportation fare is high. So things are really difficult. Many independent marketers are selling between 250 Naira and 300 Naira per litre at different locations while major marketers sell at about 170 Naira to 190 Naira per litre leaving long queues behind. However, when questions still lingers, when will the end to the continent's first scarcity come? Emmanuel Ulububukun, close to the news.
