Reactions As President Tinubu Govt Increases Petrol Price

Several reactions have trailed the increase in the pump prices of Petrol, known as Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), from 537 to 617 naira per Litre.

Naija News earlier reported that the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) has further increased pump prices of Petrol across the country.

NNPC filling stations in Abuja witnessed brief queues, particularly the one located along Murtala Mohammed Express road in Kado remained shut for a few hours as the Petrol attendants adjusted their fuel pumps to reflect the new price of 617 naira.

Also, NNPCL filling stations in Ushafa and one of its mega stations at Durumi, in the Federal Capital Territory, increased their pump prices.

Following the development, some Nigerians took to social media to berate the federal government for increasing the pump price of petrol at this time, while others mocked supporters of President Tinubu the ruling party.
