Read how Motorists lament as fuel scarcity hits Osun



An acute fuel scarcity has hit Osun, crippling
business activities in the state in the past few
days.
Attendants at some filling stations in Osogbo
blamed the scarcity on what they described as a
subtle protest by petroleum marketers, who were
anticipating a downward review of the pump price
of fuel

A source familiar with the development said
that Independent Petroleum Marketers
Association of Nigeria (IPMAN) in Osun had
since directed its members to stop lifting fuel.
NAN reports that virtually all filling stations
along Gbongan-Osogbo Road, including the
NNPC Mega Station had stopped selling fuel
since Oct. 6.
At the ancient city of Ile-Ife, long queues
could be seen at various communities, while
filling stations along Ede road were under lock
and key.
Only one filling station was selling fuel at
Ikirun but the station closed shop early on
Saturday.
Long queues were also seen at Ilesa, Oke-
Ogbo and Ijebu-Ijesa Road.
