The evil of fuel shortage is back to Benin City again. I do not know what is responsible for this current fuel shortage, but its effects are evident everywhere. Car owners, bus drivers, motorcycle transport operators popularly called okada riders and small scale business owner are negatively affected. Some now spend as much as three days at the various filling stations in order to buy fuel. I have been reliable informed too that they petrol station owners might but rationing what they have and that they are seriously involve in underhand deals like supplying feul to the black market where the fuel sells for 500% of the approved price. My advice is that people should plan their trips and avoid unnecessary movements. People should also not store fuel at home. I just hope the federal government will do some thing to savage the situation.
