Petrol To Sell For N230 Per Litre In March – Marketers
Nigerians will buy petrol at a staggering N230 per litre in March, fuel marketers have said.
According to NewTelegraph, this came as panic buying and fuel hoarding rocked many filling stations in Lagos and Abuja, making queues to resurface in the two cities.
The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) ended fuel subsidy in March 2020, exactly one year ago today.

Speaking to New Telegraph yesterday, National Operations Controller, Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN), Mike Osatuyi, declared that the whole nation had “crossed the bridge” and that there was no hiding place for hike in fuel price.
