Nigeria Fuel Crisis Deepens Amid PENGASSAN Strike, Power Generation Hit

The fuel crisis in Nigeria worsens as the PENGASSAN strike enters its third day, leading to petrol supply disruptions and power generation challenges. Filling stations are closed, causing petrol prices to surge and electricity supply to decline sharply across the country.

The strike has paralyzed key government agencies in the petroleum sector like NNPC, NUPRC, and NMDPRA. This ongoing standoff could result in a widespread fuel shortage, impacting government revenue and deepening inflation.

Commuters and motorists are left stranded as black market operators exploit the situation by selling petrol at inflated prices, raising concerns about a looming nationwide scarcity.
