Filling stations around the country have been forced to adjust petrol prices amid ongoing scarcity in major cities.
TimesNow.com.ng reported that Chinedu Ukadike, the Public Relations Officer of the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN), explained that the scarcity was due to many filling stations not opening due to the protest.

The few filling stations open are selling at prices ranging from N750 to as much as N950 per litre.
A filling station manager at Ikotun, Gbenga Salau, told TimesNow.com.ng that petrol is N750 per litre.
Earlier, TimesNow.com.ng reported that President Bola Tinubu commended Dangote Oil and Gas Limited for slashing the price of Automotive Gas Oil (AGO), also known as diesel, from N1200 to N1000.
The reduction was effected after the initial decrease from N1,650 to N1200 about three months ago.
Tinubu said the price review, which represents a 60% drop, would impact the prices of various goods and services.
