Oil marketers are still worried and are not opening their filling stations for business, causing queues for Premium Motor Spirit, popularly called petrol, in many cities nationwide.
Dealers under the aegis of the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria, which controls about 80 per cent of filling stations across the country, said on Wednesday that the decision to close shop was because of the ongoing protests.
They, however, told Buzz Times that the queues would clear out next week, stressing that it would be so dangerous to open filling stations, particularly in locations where the protests had been violent.
Nigerians commenced nationwide protests on August 1, 2024, as the organisers of the exercise declared that it would continue till August 10, 2024.
