There have been over 1,000 comments on our Facebook post asking for your tips on how to survive Nigeria’s fuel crisis.
Here are a few of the suggestions:
Haruna Isa Musa Yaro, who is from Nigeria’s capital Abuja but lives in Dubai, thinks nuclear power is the way.
He defends President Muhammadu Buhari against critics who complained he is using fuel to travel to a conference in the US while his citizens sit in queues:
He attended the summit in other to convince and get approval from world leaders that Nigeria can and will like to use nuclear energy for power production in the electrical sector. One nuclear energy power plant will be enough to give Nigeria and all its neighboring countries light.”
Meanwhile, Perry Dzivenu in Accra, Ghana, suggests Nigeria copies his country to deal with the problem:
Governments have no business selling fuel. Ghana has deregulated her fuel sector and the oil marketing companies determine prices with the market forces. Queues have ceased from Ghanaian filling stations.”
Well, these suggestions that could take time to implement. In the meantime people are stuck in queues.
So, Kenechi C Anene in Nigeria’s commercial capital, Lagos, gives his tips on how he avoids using fuel:
1. Park my car, trek it out. 2. Park my generator, use mosquito nets and open my windows at night. 3. Buy foodstuff in pack.”
If you haven’t gone as far as to give up the air conditioning and the car then you’re stuck with the queues.
So we want to know what you are doing to keep yourselves occupied.
