Fuel price hike and scarcity

Nigerians have been battling an increase in fuel prices, which has led to petrol scarcity, skyrocketing transport fares, and a high cost of living.

Legit.ng previously reported that a Nigerian man had to abandon his car to purchase a Micra vehicle, which consumes less fuel than others.

Despite last month's adjustments, it was also reported that Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited was gearing up to introduce a fresh pricing regime for the product.

In September, the company revealed that it purchased the product from the refinery at N898.78 per litre and sold it to marketers at N765.99 per litre, thereby covering a substantial subsidy of nearly N133 per litre.
