The statement comes after NNPCL jerked up the pump price of Petroleum Motor Spirit, PMS, also known as petrol, to N1,030 per litre.

The development was observed by our correspondent at some NNPCL outlets in Abuja on Wednesday.

Many Nigerians have condemned the latest fuel price hike.

DAILY POST recalls that economists had warned that the number of Nigerians below the poverty line may soon exceed the 104 million projected by the World Bank in 2023.
