‘What Is Nigeria Turning Into’ – Reactions As Diesel Sells For N625 Per Litre

 

Nigerians on social media have expressed displeasure over the current price of automotive gas oil, also known as diesel.
Naija News understands that the price of diesel has skyrocketed across the country with some filling stations now selling at N625 per litre.

According to TheCable, this is four percent higher than the N540/litre it sold last week — and about a 30 percent increase in the two weeks.

The development is coming amid fears that the United States and its European allies will ban imports of Russian crude.

Reacting to the development, some Nigerians lamented the hardship skyrocketed price would cause for the average Nigerian, while others blamed the government inability to make sustainable future plans.
