Long queues of vehicles have disappeared as petrol filling stations sell premium motor spirit at N145 per litre in Kano.
Checks in many filling stations in the metropolis revealed that most of those that closed down for several months returned to business since Thursday.
A Station Manager, Malam Sani Alhaji, told the News Agency of Nigeria in Kano on Friday that they decided to come back to business because they bought at higher rate.
Alhaji said: “Everyone knows the purpose of business is to make profit.
“We cannot sell our products at a loss, but we opened now that the price is better.”
Many motorists, who spoke to NAN on the new development, said they were happy that the product was available.
“I am very happy that the product is available at fillings stations,” Malam Aminu Ado said.
Ado added that he was buying the product at N250 per litre after staying long in queues in the past few weeks.
