Fuel shortages trigger long queues at Abuja petrol stations, linked to a $6 billion payment backlog at NNPC. Nigerians face high living costs and inflated fuel prices post-subsidy removal, impacting daily life across the capital. Photos highlight the severity of the crisis.
Long queues have reappeared at petrol stations across Abuja, Nigeria's capital, as fuel shortages grip the city. The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Ltd (NNPCL) faces a daunting $6 billion backlog in petrol payments, exacerbating the crisis.
This resurgence comes months after Nigerians grappled with fuel prices exceeding N800 per litre, pushing many to rely on inflated black market rates. Since the removal of fuel subsidies, living costs have soared, impacting transportation and essential goods pricing nationwide.
