Private depot owners have significantly increased the price of petrol, raising it from ₦630 to a staggering ₦720 per litre.
This price hike is expected to exacerbate the ongoing fuel scarcity, which has already paralyzed transportation, hiked costs for businesses and citizens, and dashed hopes that the removal of the fuel subsidy would finally solve the nation’s perennial fuel supply challenges.
The impact of this crisis is being felt across the country. Families and businesses are struggling with the strain on their already-tight budgets, as the increased fuel prices lead to a rise in the cost of transportation, goods, and services.
