Just last month, petrol prices were set at N1,030 in Abuja and N998 in Lagos, with many independent stations charging even higher rates, between N1,150 and N1,200 per litre.
According to reports, the revised prices were displayed at NNPCL stations in both Lagos and Abuja on Tuesday, a move attributed to ongoing economic pressures that are further burdening citizens already grappling with a high cost of living.
Many Nigerians have expressed their discontent, coining the term “T-Pain” or Tinubu-pain to reflect the financial hardships they are experiencing under the current administration.
