A recent video comparing fuel from NNPC and Dangote has led to long lines at MRS petrol stations in Lagos. The video, which went viral, suggests that Dangote’s fuel is of better quality. As a result, many Lagos residents are now choosing MRS stations, known to sell Dangote’s fuel, over others.
The Video’s Impact
The video shows a side-by-side test of fuels from NNPC and Dangote. In the test, Dangote’s fuel appears cleaner and burns more efficiently. This has convinced many drivers to switch to stations selling Dangote’s product.
Long Queues at MRS Stations
Since the video’s release, MRS stations across Lagos have seen a surge in customers. Long queues have become common, with drivers willing to wait for what they believe is better fuel. One driver at an MRS station in Ikeja said, “I saw the video and decided to try Dangote’s fuel. Even though the line is long, I believe it’s worth the wait.”
NNPC’s Response
In response to the video’s claims, NNPC has stated that their fuel meets all quality standards. They assure the public that their products are safe and reliable. However, the growing preference for Dangote’s fuel suggests that many consumers are influenced by the video’s findings.
What This Means for Lagos Drivers
The situation highlights how powerful social media can be in shaping public opinion. For Lagos drivers, it means more choices and the need to decide which fuel they trust more. As the debate continues, it’s essential for consumers to stay informed and make choices based on reliable information.
