Amid the ongoing fuel scarcity in Ondo State, the Chairman of the state chapter of the Nigeria Union of Local Government Employees (NULGE), Oluwatuyi Olasoji, tragically died after collapsing at a filling station.
Oluwatuyi Olasoji was said to have undergone a surgery and given up to the ghost on Monday.
Petrol scarcity has recently hit the country as motorists continued to lament.
Long queues at filling stations have worsened traffic conditions, with many people stranded at bus stops due to doubled transport fares.
Parallelfact had earlier reported days ago that the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) claimed that the current fuel scarcity was expected to “subside in a few days as more stations recalibrate and begin selling PMS.”
According to the NNPCL, “The market has been deregulated, meaning that petrol prices are now determined by market forces rather than by the government or NNPC Ltd. Additionally, the exchange rate plays a significant role in influencing these prices.”
