Respite seems to have returned to motorists in the Federal Capital Territory Monday as many fuel stations were seen to be dispensing fuel and the queues at the stations drastically reduced.
It took less than one hour for motorists to buy fuel at some petrol stations within the Abuja metropolis Monday.
Before this time, motorists spent 24 hours to buy fuel at petrol stations as many filling stations were not dispensing.
The Minister of Petroleum for State and the Group Managing Director of the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation, Dr. Ibe Kachikwu had last week assured Nigerians that the queues at the filling stations would disappear this week. Kachikwu gave the assurance when he appeared before the members of the National Assembly and when he met with the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN).
