 Now commuters in Lagos are still groaning over the lingering fuel scarcity which has resulted in long queues at various filling stations as well as hike in transport fares. Now, plus the Denise correspondent Immanuel Odubo Boe confuses the polls of residents and what they have to go through to get the product. His report. The long for queues have been persistent since late 2022, and alarmingly the situation has not abated in the wake of the new year. As work resumes, wanting these visible, the vehicular traffic which the state is known for is yet to be seen. However, residents are not happy with the state of affairs as the fuel crisis is seemingly unending. It is very, very difficult to get fuel. I actually don't know what is causing it anyway. But you know, in Nigeria, wherever they push us, that's where we'll go, simply because we are used to the suffering that all of us are facing. Both the BUB, the rich, poor and the rest people. It's not a very good idea because it seems like the people in charge of the fuel are like, they are holding the fuel so that by the time things are now maybe now quite difficult, they will now release and sell at a higher price. With the limitations continuing, as the First Castee usually takes its toll on economic activities. Unsurprisingly, transport fares and prices of commodities have got recorded. I'm looking at the transport system this morning because I stepped out this morning for my job and I entered from Ajat to Falomoye, Fondred, I think is a bit lesser now. Going up for like, since this First Castee started, since December, it's been so high. Like now, from here, from this Falomoye runabout to Lakue is 1,000, before you can get it 500, 600. But now 1,000 will accept you, beg and beg and beg before they can collect the 200. That is if you meet a nice people. Transport prices stay the way it is because if you ask the transporter, they will ask you, they will tell you, it's because of the fuel. They pride their buying 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. As many mask in the euphoria of competing freely to work this period, others believe the joy will be short-lived as the traffic situation will get jammed in a week. Transport right now, concerning traffic, no traffic, everywhere is normal. No traffic is normal because by this time, people are still on holidays, people traveled and the road is a bit free, it's very free now. Maybe from next week, by the weekend people will start resuming back to work. Many independent marketers are selling between 220 Nare and 240 Naira per litre at different locations while major marketers still sell the product at about 107-5 Naira per litre, living long queues extending outside their gates.
