Lagos— Oando, Legacy, Crown, and Morocco filling stations were occupied by consumers on Saturday despite the price hike of the product.
Recall that the Department of State Services (DSS) on Thursday gave a 48-hour ultimatum to the NNPC, IPMAN, and other stakeholders in the oil sector to resolve the current fuel crisis.
However, on Saturday, the price of fuel per litre rose to N330 per litre.

Several motorists hence queued at various filling stations awaiting fuel.
Managers at Oando, Legacy, Crown, and Morocco filling stations were uncertain of the date for the arrival of fuel in their respective stations.
It was gathered that motorists and car owners have vowed to queue until the commodity arrives.
One of the drivers said:
“I have been here for three days, because I heard a tank was conveying fuel to Oando, but unfortunately, we are yet to see fuel.”
One Joseph Iduh, who said he had queued since Saturday morning, said:
“One of the fuel attendant called me that in the next two hours, there will be fuel.”
Many motorists preparing to travel this festive season are yet to feel any respite after the DSS’s ultimatum.
Despite the 48 hours ultimatum given to the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation Limited (NNPC), Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN), and oil marketers to end the fuel queue.
