According to report in The Eagle Online “on Tuesday morning in response to the new price, following the latest development, the NNPC filling stations in Abuja witnessed brief queues, particularly the one located along Murtala Mohammed Express road, Kado remained shut for few hours as the Petrol attendants had to adjust their fuel pumps to reflect the new pump price.
There is no official communication yet on the sudden development as of the time of filling this report.
Available statistics showed that in the first half of 2023, Nigeria spent N3.6 trillion on fuel subsidy alone.
This according to the Federal Government FG will save close to N6.7 trillion if fuel subsidies payment is discontinued.
