The crisis in the distribution of petrol continues to linger around Lagos State, as many filling stations remain closed.
A few of the petrol filling stations that have products to sell also continue to record a high number of motorists, with queues of vehicles obstructing traffic on major roads.
Lasgidi FM’s Azuka Onwuzor, monitored the situation around Mushin where he spoke with some commercial transporters who complained about the slow speed of government in tackling the problem.
Also, some commuters who spoke with our man said they were not happy with the petrol scarcity, adding that the high cost of transportation was becoming unbearable for them.
