EFFECTS OF FUEL SCARCITY

During 1998 February 12, business activities in Enugu state was brought to a light because there was no fuel.  In the state vehicles were seen in long queue in the filling stations even when there is fuel at the filling station or not.  Commuter were stranded in the various bus stop with no hope of motor coming to take them to their various destinations.
