The sudden escalation in petrol prices adds an additional layer of financial pressure on Nigerians who are already navigating a challenging economic climate. With life becoming increasingly challenging, any increase in fuel expenses is likely to intensify the difficulties faced by citizens. CONTINUE READING.....
Reports from Dailytrust indicate that independent marketers in Sokoto and Borno are now demanding over N700 per litre from motorists.

The disparity in petrol prices is evident nationwide. In Kano, prices fluctuate between N620 and N690 per litre, depending on the filling station. NNPC stations maintain a slightly lower rate at N620/l. In

Despite the current challenges, there is a glimmer of hope as NNPC reports progress at the Port Harcourt Refining Company (PHRC). A critical step involves the supply of 475,000 barrels of crude oil from Shell Petroleum Development Company Limited to initiate refinery operations. There is optimism that once completed, this development will contribute to a decrease in petrol prices.
Marketers express concerns about potential fuel scarcity if NNPC fails to promptly provide petrol to depot owners and other dealers. The lengthy queues witnessed in Lagos and parts of Ogun state are feared to spread nationwide if the national oil firm does not act swiftly.
In these challenging times, Nigerians eagerly await relief from the escalating petrol prices, hoping for stability in their daily lives. Stay tuned for further updates on this developing situation.
