Petrol now N600 in Calabar amid subsidy removal, NNPC template
The price of petrol has soared in Calabar, Cross River, since the “unfortunate” pronouncement by President Bola Tinubu to end the subsidy regime.
Petrol is being dispensed at N400 and N600 per litre, depending on the filling station.
Only at the NNPC mega station is petrol sold at N194 per litre.
Even with the increment, many filling stations are not dispensing petrol. A few other stations selling fuel had long queues.
In Calabar South, Murtala Mohammed Highway, Marian, Atimbo and Etta Agbor, no filling station was open for business at the time of the report.
Asked why they were not dispensing fuel, a station manager, who did not want to be named, said he was waiting for a directive from his superiors.
