Nigerians across the country express frustration as petrol prices surge, affecting transportation, food prices, and daily living.
In a surprising development, fuel prices in Nigeria have risen sharply, sparking immediate reactions from citizens, business owners, and transport workers nationwide.
The new price, which reportedly jumped from ₦900 to ₦950 per litre in some regions, has led to increased transportation fares, inflated food costs, and widespread public concern.
> "We can't even budget anymore," said Chinedu Okeke, a commercial driver in Lagos. "Every day there's a new price, and customers blame us for what we can't control."
Traders in markets across Enugu, Port Harcourt, and Abuja have also reported significant drops in customer turnout, citing higher prices of goods and logistics issues.
Economic analysts warn that this hike could lead to further inflation, urging the government to address subsidy reforms with more clarity and support for low-income earners.
The Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) has already called for an emergency meeting, threatening nationwide protests if the issue is not resolved swiftly.
