Ongoing fuel scarcity crisis in Abuja, Nigeria's capital. Travellers and motorists are facing severe hardships with many filling stations closed and long queues at the few that remain open. The Major Energy Marketers’ Association of Nigeria (MEMAN) attributes the shortage to supply chain disruptions caused by recent thunderstorms. However, this excuse raises questions, as similar weather conditions have occurred in the past without such severe impacts. Many believe this is a tactic by a cartel of marketers holding Nigerians hostage, with some households spending up to 80% of their earnings on transportation. We'll explore the effects of the scarcity, including increased transport fares and the struggles of residents who are now forced to walk long distances. Don't miss our in-depth analysis and interviews with affected motorists.
