According to Cezza’s Blog, the long lines at petrol stations that are typical during the holidays have resurfaced in the last few days.
Despite the Department of State Services’ (DSS) 48-hour deadline for oil marketers to make the product available to Nigerians, the queue has yet to thin.
In a tweet on his official account, the former lawmaker backed the DSS’s decision, lamenting the incessant scarcity during the holiday season.
“It’s unfortunate that petroleum marketers routinely target Yuletide season in order to make ungodly profits by making life difficult for motorists and unbearable for the general public,” he wrote. The Dss’s directives to marketers are in order.”
