Nigerians groan as transport fare is doubled due to persistent fuel scarcity

Nigerians are still feeling the bite of the persistent fuel scarcity as transportation fare for most public transport have been doubled and in some cases tripled. In Lagos, a LIB reader said he paid N400 to Oshodi from Mile 2 which normally will cost him just N100. Nigerians working on the Island this morning paid N500 from Ogba to CMS which normally will cost them N150-N200. In many cases, there are no buses to take them to their destinations.

    We can help but remain hopeful, Nigeria seems on autopilot till May 29th.
    I'm optimistic because it gets this difficult when the solution is on sight.

    Wonder when this nonsense of fuel scarcity will stop. To fuel your car is problem, to enter public transport is worse. Maybe will end up trekking.
