Hetty wondered how long she would continue buying fuel, considering the little she makes in her business.
She wrote on her X page:
"N10k fuel gave me 11.11L @ 900p/L. How long can we continue like this? How much am I making? Getting to the shop, no light. I have to buy fuel to run generator to enable me sew, weave, iron and deliver customers' clothes. All these make me sad."
On Sunday April 28, there were media reports that fuel sold as high as N2000 per litre in states such as Sokoto.
