Nigerians Struggle to Buy Petrol As Fuel Shortage Hits Nation | Firstpost America

The largest oil producer in Africa, Nigeria, is facing an acute fuel crisis. Several cities have been grappling with petrol shortages, with residents forced to queue up for hours to fill the tanks of their vehicles. Retailers say Nigeria's staterun oil company is responsible for the supply challenge. However, the company last week said that it faced a logistics problem that has been resolved. The oil supplier further added that it has sufficient fuel and urged Nigerians to avoid panic buying. The fuel crisis comes almost a year after President Bola Tinubu removed subsidies on fuel in the country. This sparked massive protests, with labour unions demanding higher minimum wages amid rising costs of living. Watch this video for more details.
