Adamawa: Commuters Groan As Fuel Sells For N2,000 Per Litre

Commuters have been left groaning as fuel price hikes have forced transporters to increase their fares in Adamawa State.

Meanwhile, the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN), Adamawa/Taraba chapter, has expressed its resolve to continue its strike even as fuel sells for as high as N2,000 per litre.

Chairman Dahiru Buba said in Yola on Tuesday they decided to go on strike because of the incessant harassment of members and illegal seizures of their tankers carrying fuel the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS).

He claimed that customs officers had abandoned their designated areas of operation at the borders and were now targeting legitimate businesses in metropolitan and local government areas.

Most fuel stations in Yola are closed, and motorists can only get fuel from black markets in some metropolises.
