Niger has imposed a curfew on petrol sales to address a national fuel shortage. This means that petrol stations will not be allowed to sell fuel between 9 pm and 6 am, allowing suppliers to restock and replenish their supplies. The move aims to alleviate the shortage and ensure a steady supply of fuel to the public. The curfew is likely to impact the country's economy and trade, particularly in the transportation sector, where fuel is a crucial component.
