 Commuters in Lagos are still groaning over the lingering field scarcity which has resulted in long queues at various filling stations as well as hike in transports fares. Plus, TV News correspondent Immanuel Ulubo Boko feels the pulse of residents and what they have to go through to get the product. Lagos. They long for queues have been persistent since late 2022 and lamely the situation has not abated in the wake of the new year. As work resumes, wanting is visible, the vehicular traffic which the state has known for is yet to be seen. However, residents are not happy with the state of affairs as the fur crisis is seemingly unending. It is very, very difficult to get fur. I actually don't know what is causing it anyway. But you know, in Nigeria, wherever they push us, that's where we go simply because we are used to the suffering that all of us are facing, both the BU, the rich, poor and the rest people. It's not a very good idea. It's because it seems like the people in charge of the fur are like they are holding the fur so that by the time things are now maybe now quite difficult, they will now release and sell at a higher price. The limitations continuing as the first castee usually takes its toll on economic activities. Unsurprisingly, transport fares and prices of commodities have got recorded. Looking at the transport system this morning, because I stepped out this morning for my job and I entered from Ajat to Falomoye 400. I think it's a bit lesser now. Being up for like, since this first castee started, since December, it's been so high. Like now, from here, from this Falomoye roundabout to Lakwa is 1,000. Before it can get it 500, 600. But now 1,000 accept you, beg and beg and beg, before they can collect that 200 naira. That is if you meet a nice people. Transport's 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 fur. The pride of buying fur and to me from my experience even the government also said they don't know anything about fur. I mean, they have no increased fur and fur is out there. As many masks 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, no traffic is normal. Of course, 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 naira and 240 naira per liter at different locations, while major marketers still sell the product at about 170 naira per liter, living long queues extending outside their gates.
