Motorists stranded due to fuel scarcity in Abuja

 

Due to scarcity of fuel in Abuja, hundreds of motorists have been left stranded as they spent long hours waiting to fill their cars, Punch reported.

According to the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation says the fuel scarcity is caused by marketers hoarding fuel.

Although there is enough fuel to keep the country in survival mode, measures have been taken place to ensure motorists receive fuel.
