By Jabiru Hassan, Kano.
Long vehicular queues returns to Kano filling stations as some of the serving stations were seen closed by our correspondent this morning(Thursday) at both metropolitan and at the rural areas.
Motorists and other vehicle owners were also seen struggling to get fuel which indicated that there is a scarcity of the products across the state which needs urgent intervention from the federal and state governments.
Some of the drivers found at the long queue at various filling stations disclosed that in most of the filling stations, there is fuel underneath but due to their bad intentions, they closed the filling stations to create panic in the transport sector which is not fair.
Auwalu Adamu, a commercial bus driver said that ” it is important for the Kano state government to constitute a high powered committee to checkmate all these issues and punish all those found hoarding fuel underneath their filling stations due to get huge amount of money”. He concluded.
Some of the filling stations managers that had a chats with Daybreak News on the condition of anonymity, stressed that they are only acting based on the instructions of the petrol stations owners and it is true that there is adequate fuel underneath most of the filling stations based on the directives of their masters.
