NNPCL RAISES PETROL PRICES AMIDST GOVERNMENT DENIAL
By Abdulhamid Sani
Dutse, Jigawa State – The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) has increased the price of petrol to ₦904 per liter, sparking widespread confusion and concern. While the federal government has vehemently denied authorizing the price hike, the new rates have already taken effect at many NNPCL stations across the country.
In the northwestern state of Jigawa, the capital city of Dutse has seen petrol prices soar to ₦904 per liter. This significant increase is expected to have a ripple effect on transportation costs, food prices, and other essential goods and services.
The NNPCL’s decision to raise prices has been met with mixed reactions. Some argue that the increase is necessary to ensure the sustainability of the country’s fuel supply, while others criticize the government for failing to address the root causes of fuel scarcity and high costs.
As the situation continues to unfold, it remains unclear what the long-term implications of this price hike will be for Nigerians. Many are calling on the government to intervene and provide clarity on the matter.
