Emmanuel Addeh writes on the chaos that greeted last Friday’s purported increase in the pump price of petrol, noting, however, that it is akin to postponing the proverbial evil day
Beleaguered Nigerians who were looking forward to a relatively good weekend, woke up to the rude shock on Friday morning of the news of another rise in the price of petrol, a product that is literally the lifeblood of the country.
Although not unexpected, since the nation has been subtly put on notice by the authorities for a while, the jump from N162 to N212, an addition of over N50, riled many Nigerians who took to social to denounce the action.
