Osun residents have expressed frustration over the latest increment in the pump price of Premium Motor Spirit, PMS, by the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited, NNPCL.
DAILY POST recalls that the NNPCL on Wednesday officially increased pump price of PMS in its retail stations from N897 per litre to N1,030 per litre in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja. The company also increased the PMS pump price from N868 per litre to N998 per litre in Lagos State. In some other locations across the country, the product goes for over N1,200 per litre.
Busayo, who said he had dropped his vehicle at home for the last six months, said he had to get fuel to power his generator because of his wife who gave birth on Monday. He said, “I have a car. But I have not been able to use it for over six months. It is at home. 'I earn less than N80,000 and my wife is a private school teacher whose salary is not up to N40,000. So, I cannot use 80% of my salary to fill my tank.
