Long queues have begun forming at filling stations operated by MRS Oil Nigeria Plc as motorists rush to purchase cheaper petrol amid rising fuel prices across the country.
Many consumers were seen lining up at MRS stations where Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) is reportedly being sold for less than ₦1,000 per litre, significantly lower than prices at several other filling stations.
The development has triggered increased demand, with drivers and commercial transport operators scrambling to secure fuel at the reduced rate to cut transportation and operating costs.
Across major cities, queues have been observed stretching outside some stations as Nigerians continue to battle the impact of rising fuel prices on daily living expenses.
Industry observers say the situation highlights the growing pressure on consumers following fuel price adjustments and the removal of subsidies, which have caused petrol prices to fluctuate in recent months.
Motorists have called for more stable fuel pricing and improved supply to prevent further queues and disruptions in the country’s downstream petroleum sector.
