In a startling development that has sparked widespread speculation and concern, a recent post on the official X handle of Nigerian Stories has caused a stir online. Accompanied by an image of a fuel pump displaying an eye-popping price of NGN 897 per litre, the post raises the pressing question: “Is this the new price of fuel ⛽️ by NNPCL?”
This unexpected visual has sent shockwaves through the public, leaving many Nigerians questioning the reality of such a steep hike. If true, this would represent a significant jump in fuel costs, with far-reaching implications for the economy and the daily lives of millions of Nigerians.
As the image continues to circulate across social media platforms, the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) is yet to make an official statement addressing the speculation. The silence only fuels more anxiety and curiosity among the populace.
In a country where fuel prices have always been a sensitive issue, the possibility of such a drastic increase could trigger widespread discontent and economic strain. Many are now eagerly awaiting clarification from NNPCL, hoping for reassurance that this is not the beginning of another round of price hikes.
The question remains: is this image a harbinger of a new era of higher fuel costs, or merely a digital anomaly? As Nigerians hold their breath, the answer could shape the economic landscape for months to come.
