As the government and the oil majors engaged in a back-and-forth on where the buck stops, scarcity worsened across major cities, whileVehicles that were previously in good condition suddenly developed faults, warranting many-a-visit to the mechanic workshop.
“I need to leave my house by 6:30am so as to be here by 8am these days. I have many cars waiting for me here. I can tell you that before you finish this interview, I will receive calls from clients because their cars would be suffering from the bad petrol,” he said. According to the mechanic, for a 2005 Honda Accord, it will cost N15,000 to buy a complete petrol pump with the casing, and N7,000 without casing, while he would also charge between N15,000 and N20,000 for his services.Sule Abba is one of Sunday’s old customers. On February 12, it took six hours for him to get petrol at a filling station along Lugbe Airport road.
“I really did not take it seriously at first. I tried starting it and it didn’t respond. I called my mechanic in Apo and the first thing he asked me was if I bought petrol recently at any filling station. When I told him I bought at black market because of the scarcity, he was just laughing and he simply told me my petrol pump might be damaged,” he said.
