The ease of getting petrol by motorists and other residents in Kaduna has become more difficult as long queues persist in the state capital and its environs.
Due to this the Department of Petroleum Resources(DPR) has sealed no fewer than seven filling stations for various offences ranging from hoarding, under delivery and selling above the N145 per litre government approved pump price.
Our correspondent who monitored the situation within the state capital reported that long queues have taken over the few filling stations in the city, selling the petrol as motorists besieged the outlets to get the product for their respective uses
The lingering scarcity has led to an astronomical increase in the pump price of the product, as a litre of PMS was sold between N300 and N350 per litre as against the N145 per litre approved government pump price.
With just four days to the Christmas celebration, the residents, especially those preparing to travel to their respective towns, are worried that the situation would affect their movement.
