Since the inception of the newly elected President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria in person of Muhammedu Buhari, Many began a campaign trek and celebration of the much awaited change that we all have been anticipating, little did we know that we were going to trek long distances to our desti-Nation.
After spending close to a week of scouting for petroleum product with no avail due to long queue in petrol stations and some being locked-up at day time and opened in the Midnight to be sold to black marketers. They also sold this product at outrageous prices. I believe this case is alarming, therefore urge like minded youths of this great Nation "NIGERIA" to come out once again to say this isn't the change we bargained for, due to the severe hardship being caused to citizens across the Nation.
A commercial Bus driver (Akeem Lawal) lamented to Iwitness on the implications of fuel hoarding to his business which caused untold hardship, Having stayed in queue from the early hours of 6:00 AM to 3:00 PM, still doesn't know if he would be able to BUY fuel due to the struggle at the point of sale, which makes it the survival of the fittest.
This is why we implore the Government to get to the root of the issue, knowing that many citizens depend on fuel for their daily bread.
Despite claims by the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), last week that it has began the supply of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) to various stations across the Nation, still citizens pass through hardships to get the commodity due to the fact that many stations either are not selling or are selling with just a pump therefore creating long queues of vehicle.
