The problem is corruption because i dont think managing crowd at the filling station is much of a problem,only if the management can maintain orderlines.I have seen a situation. whereby the attendants gave preferential treatment to those involve in black market business leading to the accumulation of crowd in line waiting to be serve.When this happens,the possibilty of getting petrol is limited because they are being sold to black marketers.God help Nigeria
