End users can purchase the product for N200 to N210 per liter at a few petrol stations in Damaturu where it is available.
Desperate motorists are reportedly venturing outside of the state capital in search of fuel, which is said to be a little cheaper.
Despite the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation’s (NNPC) assurances to Nigerians that it has enough petrol to get around the country in the shortest amount of time, the situation is looming.
