Fuel scarcity resurfaced in Enugu metropolis on Wednesday as petroleum marketers closed down their filling stations, the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), reports.
NAN reports that only the NNPC Mega Station on Enugu-Abakaliki Expressway was dispensing products to the a long queue of cars on its premises.
Commuters, including school children, were stranded due to paucity of commercial vehicles just as the roads were free of the usual traffic.

Meanwhile, transport fares have increased by 100 per cent as commercial buses charged between N80 and N100 as against N50 per drop.
Some motorists who spoke to NAN said the situation may be connected with ongoing monitoring of compliance with new pump price of N86.50k per litre by the Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR).
NAN reports that the federal government on Tuesday announced that it would shut down and revoke licences of marketers who defaulted in implementing the new pump price.
