illing stations owned by the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC) have hiked the fuel price to over N850 per litre in the country.

A viral video on X showed how Nigerians are lamenting the new price.
“N855 at NNPC station in Ikoyi area (Lagos State),” a customer said in the video.

My driver just informed me that they stopped selling at Mobil to adjust pump price.
This video confirms it all!
If the @nnpclimited is selling at N855, then it’s going to be double that elsewhere. pic.twitter.com/mXiIrEjOAo— Kate Amaka Henshaw (@HenshawKate) September 3, 2024
