As the ongoing scarcity of petrol continues to bite harder, passengers travelling for Christmas were stranded at Mararaba motor park in Nasarawa State on Sunday.
NAN reports that as a result of the scarcity of petroleum products, transporters seem to be cashing in on the development, with fares increased arbitrarily.
The News Agency of Nigeria ( NAN) correspondent who visited some of the parks on Sunday reports that travellers had given up on the trip and returned home due to shortage of vehicles at the parks.
Mr Ernest Obi, a businessman who was supposed to travel to Enugu state said he would not be able to embark on the journey.
He said he spent four hours at the Mararaba park but was unable to get a vehicle.
“I cannot imagine what people are going through. Our staying in this country is becoming unbearable.
“ I came to the park as early as 7 a.m. and this is noon. I have not seen a vehicle to convey me to my village.
“ You can see the crowd yourself.
