Fuel Crisis: New Price Emerges As Independent Marketers Hike Cost Per Litre
New reports indicate a surge in fuel pump prices across the nation, with both major and independent marketers adjusting their rates.
Investigations conducted in Abuja and Lagos reveal a significant disparity in petrol prices between stations owned by major and independent marketers.
Major marketers are keeping their prices relatively steady, whereas independent operators have increased their rates by 20 to 30%.
Presently, major marketers are vending at an average of ₦605 per litre, while independent marketers are setting prices at around ₦730 per litre.
Independent marketers attribute the price hike to a breakdown in the system of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL), pointing to advantageous Business-to-Business transactions benefiting major marketers.
They clarify that independent marketers no longer have direct access to imported petroleum products at depot prices.
