Why Petrol Price May Hit ₦5,000 Per Litre – NLC

The spokesperson of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Benson Upah on Saturday warned that Nigerians may end up buying petrol for ₦5,000 per litre.

Upah who spoke in an interview amidst fuel scarcity and hike in price of petrol across the country said the recent increase runs contrary to the agreement the union reached with the Federal Government.

Speaking on the increase in petrol price Upah said, “I want to tell you something, what this signals is that Nigerians have not seen the end yet, we may end up paying nothing less than ₦5,000 per liter for fuel in this country.

“We hope not to get there but if we get there, the decision will be left to Nigerians.”
