Why Are Fuel Prices Rising in Nigeria?

You wake up today,

Fuel is ₦650.

Tomorrow comes,

It’s ₦720.

Why is this happening?

Let’s break it down.

1. Subsidy is gone

Government stopped paying part.

Now we pay full price.

2. Naira is weak

We import fuel.

We buy it in dollars.

Dollar is now expensive.

3. No local refinery

Our fuel goes abroad,

Then comes back to us —

More expensive.

4. Global oil prices

When oil price rises,

Fuel price follows.

Even if it's not our fault.

5. Transportation cost

Fuel moves by trucks.

Bad roads + fuel = higher price.

6. Government policy

No price control now.

Marketers fix their own price.

That’s why fuel is rising.

And it may rise again.

The poor suffer most.

But the pump doesn’t care.
