If you do not comply, the DSS will start operating all over the nation, he warned.
Afunanya claims that the issue of fuel scarcity has grown to a point where it threatens national security.
According to him, the NNPC concurred during the meeting that there is sufficient product to feed Nigerians both during and after the holiday season.

Particularly in Lagos and Abuja, vehicle owners have struggled for weeks to get fuel from petrol stations.
While most stores are closed, the few that are open sell the essential good for as much as N250 per litre in contrast to the standard price.
Long, arduous lines of drivers and business owners jostling for fuel at the few open filling stations have resulted from the lack of supply, with some turning to the black market. Traffic on major roads has also gotten worse as a result of vehicle owners blocking at least one lane to join lines at gas stations.
