The scarcity of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), petrol, currently ravaging the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Abuja has partially shut down movements and economic activities in the city.
DAILY POST had reported that commuters and car owners were on Monday stranded in the city as fuel scarcity imposed further hardship on residents.
It was also reported that the few stations selling were dispensing above the normal pump price as metres were adjusted to N165 as against N160 or N163 being the case earlier.
Further check by DAILY POST correspondent who monitored the market situation in some parts of the city on Tuesday, showed that the situation got worse as stations previously dispensing locked out customers.
