The persistent scarcity of fuel in Nigeria and the pains of having adulterated fuel in circulation, according to the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) in the 19 northern states and Abuja, have further increased the hardship Nigerians are going through for about a month now.
In a statement issued by its Vice Chairman, Rev. John Joseph Hayab, “Our leaders should show pity on hardworking Nigerians who are spending hours and nights at fuel stations, commuters who are paying high transport fares and waiting for a long time to get to work and back home after work due to lack of fuel to buy.”
While querying the Minister of Petroleum and what the ministry has done to remedy the situation, CAN expressed worry over the pains of Nigerians.
