Fuel queues on Tuesday morning surfaced in Lagos causing gridlock in major parts of the state and affecting traffic movement.
Some fuel stations were locked while a few which were opened had long queues of motorists waiting to buy fuel.
The situation is not different in the capital city, Abuja, and surrounding states where the majority of filling stations were shut and motorists spent hours in the sun struggling to buy from the few that were open.
In a statement released on Wednesday, January 26 by the Group Managing Director, Group Public Affairs Division of the NNPC, Garba Deen Muhammad, the corporation warned against panic-buying and assured that it remains deeply committed to ensuring energy security for the country.
