Protests responsible for long fuel queues – IPMAN

DAILY POST

The Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria, IPMAN, has said the ongoing hunger protest is responsible for the resurgence of long fuel queues in filling stations in major cities across the country.

Recall that since Thursday last week, Nigerians have continued to demonstrate on the streets, tagged #EndBadGovernance.

Part of the demand is the return of fuel subsidies.

The protests had led to the death of at least fifteen persons and properties destroyed in Kano, Niger, Jigawa, Yobe, and the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.

The protests had prompted President Bola Ahmed Tinubu Sunday’s broadcast, where he appealed for protesters to suspend the demonstration and dialogue with the government.

While there are uncertainties on how things will pan out in the next few days, oil marketers have blamed the long queues being witnessed across cities on the protests.
