Since the fuel shortage returned, transportation costs have increased across the state; nonetheless, fewer buses have been operating because of the long lines at the numerous filling stations.
There are no buses, according to Mrs. Ruth Musa, a federal government employee at the Federal Secretariat in Kawo-Kaduna, despite higher transportation costs.
“I waited at the Kakuri Bus stop for about an hour without seeing a car.”
Even on the illicit market, according to cab driver James Alam, nothing is accessible.
He claimed that due to the scarcity, everytime he purchased fuel, he would either make a pitiful N200 profit or incur a loss at the end of the day.
I should park my taxi because there is no gain to be had. I’ll spend N4,000 for fuel, and I’ll have a full tank by six o’clock. If I do the math, I run at a loss or barely make N200,” he claimed.
An employee of a parastatal of the federal government named Alhaji Ibrahim Yusuf claimed that since the state’s fuel shortage began on Monday, he has left his automobile parked.
Nobody anticipated this fuel shortage at this time, he claimed. We deal with daily kidnappings, food shortages, a lack of money, and insecurity. There is a fuel shortage.
Passengers were awaiting rides to take them to their various locations when Cezzatech visited Television Garage and Mando Motor Park on Wednesday morning.
Julio Jones, one of the waiting passengers, claimed he was there on Monday but had no vehicle and that he was planning to go to Jos, the capital of the Plateau State.
He claims that despite the increased fare, the Union told them to wait until other cars had left to seek for gasoline.
Mr. Samuel Adejo, the manager of Kaduna Textiles Plc and an Oando filling station, informed Cezzatech that they haven’t gotten fuel since last week.
Although he blamed a logistics issue, he added that gasoline is on the way.
