Amidst the escalating fuel scarcity in certain areas of the country, black market vendors in the Sokoto metropolis are capitalizing on the situation by selling a liter of petrol for prices ranging between N2,000 and N2,500.
Concerned residents who voiced their frustrations to Channels Television appealed to the government for urgent intervention to alleviate the crisis before it worsens.
The prevailing fuel shortage has begun to impact business operations and is significantly impeding the daily lives of residents. With the skyrocketing black market price of N2,500 per liter, access to fuel has become increasingly scarce, leading to disruptions in business activities and other essential services across the metropolis.
