PHOTOS: Fuel Scarcity Bites Hard Across Western States As Black Marketers Sell at ₦2000 Per Litre 

Fuel marketers in Ado Ekiti, particularly black marketers, are capitalizing on the nationwide fuel scarcity by selling petrol at exorbitant prices ranging from N1500 to N2000 per liter.

The scarcity has thrown residents of Ado Ekiti and neighboring towns into distress, with businesses and daily activities severely affected.

Many filling stations remain closed, citing a lack of fuel, while black market sellers exploit the situation by charging inflated prices.

Commuters lament the difficulty in finding fuel, making transportation challenges and increasing the cost of living.

Concerned residents urged government intervention to alleviate the hardship and prevent further escalation of the crisis.

Efforts to speak with the Chairman of the Petroleum Products Regulations and Consumers Protection Agency, Odunayo Arinka, were unsuccessful as he declined to speak with the media.
