The scarcity of petroleum motor spirit (PMS), otherwise called fuel, has hit Sokoto State with a litre now sold between 185 to 200 naira.
Our correspondent who monitored the development over the weekend in the state gathered that most of the filling stations within the state capital were not open for business.
It was reliably gathered that apart from the NNPC mega station in the state capital, only a few other independent filling were seen selling the products while long queues were also noticed there.
Speaking with our correspondent, Mallam Jamiu Afolabi, a motorist who was on the queue to get the product condemned the attitude of the marketers.

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has charged the new Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Abdulrasheed Bawa, to re-engineer and restore professionalism in the anti-graft agency.
In a statement issued in Abuja, on Sunday, by Kola Ologbondiyan National Publicity Secretary, the party urged Bawa to avoid the pitfalls of his immediate predecessor in office, “by resisting all-partisan pressures to use the agency as a tool for political persecution, harassment of dissenting voices, settling of personal scores as well as for personal enrichment, as witnessed under the last chairman.”
The party noted that such tendencies eroded professionalism in the EFCC, compromised its activities and diminished the public confidence with regard to fairness, impartiality and even-handedness in the handling of cases.
