Car owners and other petrol users in Kaduna State can heave a sigh of relief as the long queues experienced for days have begun to disappear.
DAILY POST reports that many petrol stations across the state have opened for normal business as supply has gradually increased with the price remaining the same.
Commercial bus and taxi drivers have also reduce transport fares which were increased for days while the scarcity lasted.
Mrs Rhoda Achile, who works with the Federal Ministry of Labour along Muhammed Buhari Way, said she spent N500 to the office since the fuel scarcity started but today, she only spent N200 being the normal transport fare before the fuel scarcity.
Also, a taxi driver, Mr Nicodemus Nawaya told DAILYPOST on Wednesday in Kaduna that he filled his taxi with N20,000 since the fuel scarcity began, but as of Tuesday and Wednesday, he only spent N15,000 to fill his tank.
“Before the fuel scarcity, I filled my motor tank with N13,500 and N14,000 respectively. The fuel will take me till evening when I closed from work. But, since the scarcity began, I spent N20,000 or more before I close from work.
“However, now, the price has reduced and hope it will not increase any longer,” he said.
Most filling stations; Oando, Jampet, Omapet, filling stations were selling at normal prices, as most drivers did not spend up to ten minutes before being attended to.
Alhajji Salisu Magaji, a bus driver said, he only spent ten minutes before refilling his tank at Oando filling station.
According to him, he only met two drivers ahead of him, at the filling station, and that was because, NEPA ceased light, as they have to wait for some minutes to start the generator.
The manager of the Oando filling station, Mr James Obochi told DAILYPOST that any fuel supply is carefully monitored, checked to ensure it’s not contaminated.
This, according to him, was to avoid embarrassment from stakeholders.
