Finally, result gotten also shows that individual have to desist from all forms of fuel hoarding and vandalization of fuel pipes could threaten the availability of fuel in t he circulation which could at least bring untold hardship on the society by way of increasing price of food as a result of high cost of production and transportation from where it was produced to the market. It was recommended that, government should monitor marketers from diverting fuel met for our country to other countries and also government should built more refineries to ensure surplus of fuel in circulation.
