Fuel Curfew and Shortages Disrupt Daily Life and Taxi Operations in Niger
What happened
Niger's government implemented an overnight curfew on petrol sales, restricting sales between nine at night and six in the morning at designated stations. This measure was announced to allow suppliers, including the Nigerien Petroleum Company, to restock following a countrywide fuel shortage. The taxi union, Synctaxi, has appealed to authorities to relax the curfew for struggling operators.
