Most Abuja motorists celebrated Christmas on long queues at filling stations as the scarcity of petrol continues in the territory.
There is a long queue in most fuel stations on Monday, which included NNPC, Oando and Total Filling Stations.
Mr Chris Abiti said he and his family members have been at the NNPC Mega Station in Central Area for more than an hour and it is getting closer to their turn.
Abiti said that something urgent needed to be done to avert the recurrent scarcity during festivities, especially Christmas and New Year seasons.
“It’s not the leadership problem or government at fault. It’s a systemic failure of some private companies and individuals causing the problems.
“Something urgent must be done to spare Nigerians from this yearly agony. We should not continue like this,” he said.
Abiti added that NNPC mega station was better than other fuel stations because the queue was moving.
Aminu Ibrahim said he was not happy about the fuel situation because “festive season should be enjoyed and not spent in the fuel station”.
He called on the Federal Government to passionately look into the fuel problem in 2018.
Similarly, Mr Teso Joseph said that he has been at Oando Filling Station at Zone 4 for over five hours and that the queue is not really moving.
He said the station staff sell to some selected people and also in kegs.
Fuel scarcity began in Abuja and other parts of the country since early December.
