The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited, has raised the pump price of petrol in Abuja by 14.8 percent to N1,030 per litre from N897.
The latest price increase makes it the second time petrol price has been hiked in the past one month.
The company had in September increased pump price from N615 per litre to N897.
When our correspondent visited the NNPC Retail mega station in Abuja where the price increase has been effected, motorists expressed shock, lamenting the continuing hardship in the country.
“It’s beyond believe. I have been on the queue for almost an hour and I didn’t know they have increased the price. Tinubu is not concerned about our suffering”, a taxi driver, Usman Abah lamented.
