Lagos residents on Monday saw the return of long queues at petrol filling stations, the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports.
A NAN correspondent, who monitored the situation, reports that many petrol stations did not have petrol, while the few ones that had sold above the official pump price of N145 per litre.
Petrol hawkers were sighted along some routes selling 10 litres of petrol at N3,000 against the official pump price of N1,450 per litre.
The scarcity is allegedly due to the pronouncement of Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association (PENGASSAN) to embark on an industrial action.
The announcement led to abrupt shut of flow stations across parts of the country which caused panic buying.
Some motorists, who spoke to NAN, said that they had spent hours on queues.
They said that some filling stations were exploiting the situation to increase price of the product.
