A new surge in fuel prices has been observed at an NNPC filling station, where petrol is now being sold for ₦998 per litre, while diesel has reached ₦1,150 per litre. The updated price board, captured on Tuesday, reflects a sharp increase that has sparked concerns among Nigerians over the rising cost of fuel.

Other fuel products such as kerosene were unavailable, with no prices displayed. Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) was listed at ₦880 per litre.

This significant rise in fuel prices comes amid ongoing discussions about fuel subsidy removal and its effects on inflation, transportation costs, and the general cost of living. The current prices have left many consumers and businesses grappling with the economic strain caused by fuel price volatility.

As Nigerians adjust to the rising costs, further clarity from government and regulatory bodies is expected regarding potential interventions to cushion the impact on citizens.
