Most filling stations in Ibadan Oyo State metropolis have locked their gates to customers.
Radio Nigeria Correspondent, Olukemi Akintunde, who monitored the situation in some areas in Ibadan, observed that some filling stations selling the product had long queues.
A manager in one of the filling stations, Mr Ayodele Asade said they were selling at official pump price, but was surprised to see long queues in his station.
Some motorists and commercial drivers, who spoke with Radio Nigeria lamented that marketers were using the avenue to exploit them.
They called on the Federal Government to proffer lasting solutions to forestall fuel scarcity.
Reacting, chairman, Independent Marketers Association of Nigeria, IPMAN, Oyo state chapter, Alhaji Bukola Mutiu attributed the long queues in some filling stations in the state to lack of supply of premium motor spirit PMS, by the Nigerian national petroleum corporation, NNPC, Ibadan depot.
Alhaji Mutiu explained that for the past two months, IPMAN had been buying the PMS, from the private depot in Lagos at an exorbitant price and low quality.
The IPMAN chairman enjoined his members to follow due process while buying the product to ensure it is unadulterated.
