WATCH THE VIDEO HERE President Bola Ahmed Tinubu led administration through the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL), has increased the pump price of petrol despite the mounting economic challenges.
NaijaOnPoint.com.ng(NOP) reports that the pump price on Tuesday was increased as residents in Lagos and Abuja will now pay N1,025 and N1060 per litre, respectively. The price was previously at N1,030 in Abuja and N998 in Lagos at NNPCL stations, while other stations charged between N1,150 and N1,200 per litre. According to Peoples Gazette, NNPCL stations in Lagos and Abuja displayed the updated prices on Tuesday, a move attributed to prevailing economic conditions that could further strain Nigerians, already facing a steep rise in the cost of living. Since President Tinubu took office on May 29, 2023, and announced the end of the fuel subsidy, petrol prices have soared from N145 to over N1,000, intensifying the financial strain on citizens.
