NNPC sends message to Nigerians on petrol

Meanwhile, YEN.com.gh reported that a Nigerian man has taken to social media to cry out after he purchased fuel at N1,000 per litre from a filling station on Monday.

Many filling stations are closed across the country as petrol tanker drivers downed their tools on Monday to protest rising operating costs.

The implication of the strike has been the return of fuel queues and the few filling stations that open selling at exorbitant prices.
