The long petrol queues have made a return to Lagos ahead of the yuletide. There’ll be no prizes for guessing why. They are back like they never really left. Lagos is suddenly short of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) otherwise called petrol, just days before Christmas.How totally convenient!On Monday, November 4, 2017, Pulse drove round the nation’s commercial capital and only few gas stations were dispensing the product.The NNPC gas station on Kingsway Road in Ikoyi, was shuttered to buyers in the early hours. Mobil on Ozumba Mbadiwe also offered skeletal services. Most gas stations on the mainland like the Mobil in Aguda, Surulere weren’t dispensing petrol. At the Conoil in Aguda, motorists were creating a rowdy scene, sufficient enough to bring the police in. In Ikeja, queues have been forming well into Tuesday morning and Total on Mobolaji Bank Anthony way is a confused mess of angry people. Across Lagos, commuters are finding it difficult hitching rides to work and commercial bus operators have since hiked fares.
