Some petroleum products marketers in Kano State have closed their filling stations in anticipation of an increase in the price of the product.
SAHELIAN TIMES gathered that long queues of vehicles resurfaced in some petrol stations in some parts of the state on Monday.
Most of the product marketers in the state metropolis closed their filling stations.
There were queues of vehicles at the few filling stations that were selling the product as some of the marketers were reluctant to sell the product.
The situation was the same in Bichi town and Gwarzo Local Government Areas.
A commercial vehicle driver, Aliyu Ibrahim, said he had to be on the queue at one of the filling stations for over 4 hours.
According to him, after spending an hour in the queue, he still could not buy the commodity.
A university lecturer, Dr. Aliyu Isa Aliyu, while lamenting about the difficulty of getting the commodity, said it would be better if the government increases the price of the product than made them pass through this difficulty.
