Nigeria Latest News,Nigeria Headlines

With the scarcity of Premium Motor Spirit Spirit, PMS, also known as petrol ravaging various parts of the country, the situation has continued to take a toll on the residents of Ondo State.

The situation was more pronounced in Akure, the state capital, with most of the filling stations under lock and key while those who were dispensing the product sold it for more than the official pump price of N580. At a few of the filling stations visited, particularly those belonging to independent marketers, long queues were visible as consumers jostled to buy the product between N680, N720 and N1000.

Decrying the situation, a taxi driver within Akure metropolis, Tope Alaba, described the situation as unbearable, stressing that the government is gradually pushing Nigerians to the wall. 'How do you want me to describe what is happening, if not hell? This is the hell we are passing through in Nigeria. Tinubu claimed subsidies have been removed, but petrol is now scarce. And the petrol stations that are selling are making us buy at a very high rate.
