Oil suppliers say Nigeria's outgoing government has agreed to pay $800 million to end a fuel crisis crippling the economy just days before the inauguration of a new president Friday in Africa's biggest oil producer. Chaos reigned Tuesday at Nigerian airports, where most flights were canceled due to the shortages. Cars and other vehicles formed queues of more than 2 kilometers (1 mile) outside of gas stations.
