The scarcity of vehicles can be attributed to the fuel scarcity, in Lagos state which is gradually building up in some parts of the state.
Many passengers were stranded at various bus stops on Monday morning, as commercial vehicles were scarce on the road.
It was seen that many people were stranded at major bus stops along Ogba-Berger road, such as Aguda, college road, among others.
The situation was the same at bus stops around popular Berger as many passengers were already trekking.
Commercial drivers interviewed confirmed that the development was due to fuel scarcity.
“They are not selling fuel. Some of them have the fuel in their stations, but they choose not to sell it. The policies of the government affect everybody, don’t blame the drivers. Whatever they do at the top affects the middle and lower classes.”
It was seen that there was a long queue of vehicles and people at many petroleum stations with people struggling to buy fuel.
people were lamenting over the development saying they have been standing at the bus stop for an hour.
“I don’t know why they are making life hard for us in this country. Any small thing, the drivers have doubled the price. Our politicians will not address this problem now, they are only interested in the elections, a passenger said.
“My brother, I’m just tired of this country, they want to cut short our lives, another passenger, said.
Fuel scarcity had been building up in some parts of the country before now. it was reported that the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, had recently been caught up in some fuel scarcity, with vehicles seen queuing up for fuel since May.
