President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has claimed Nigerians buy the
cheapest fuel in West Africa.
Aguri Ngelale, the Special Adviser to the President,
disclosed this on Tuesday.
The president noted that the fuel pump price will not be
adjusted upward.
The presidency was reacting to claims making the rounds of
an upward review of fuel pump prices following the increase in the landing cost
of the commodity caused by the depreciation of the Naira against the Dollar.
Tinubu said Nigeria is the only country selling fuel below
N700 per litre.
“Senegal at pump price today of N1,273 equivalent per litre,
Guinea at N1,075 per litre, Côte d’ Ivore at N1,048 per litre equivalent in
their currency, Mali N1,113 per litre, Central African Republic N1,414 per
litre, Nigeria is presently averaging between N568 and N630 per litre.
“We are presently the cheapest, most affordable purchasing
state in the West African sub-region by some distance. No country is below N700
per litre”, he said.
Recall that Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation Limited
said there is no plan to increase fuel pump prices upward.
The Nigeria Labour Congress threatened to strike without
notice if fuel pump prices were reviewed upward.
In two months, fuel pump prices were reviewed twice, now at
N617 per litre after subsidy removal.

This kind of aguri are they ones to help tinubu fail Nigerians. Tinubu should drop h9m as soon as possible. Probably he has not Benn anything to do with villages because of long stay in Europe. This oyinbo looking young man may not know how people are suffering.
