There are growing concerns among residents and motorists in Ogun and Edo state following the return of fuel queues in most petrol stations.
In Abeokuta, long queues of vehicles were sighted at the capital city with motorist struggling for the product at the service points.
There were also people with jerry cans hoping to get the product either as use in their vehicles or generators to power their homes.
Some stations remained deserted as a result of non-availability of the product.
It was the same situation in Benin City where long queues have also been seen around the city.
Some of the motorists complained of difficulty in getting petrol, asking the federal government to intervene in order to bring the situation under control.
The NNPC had given assurances that it has enough supply and had warned buyers against panic buying.
Residents have, however, appealed to the authority concerned to do the needful in bringing the situation under control for the good of the residents. (Channels TV)
