More hardship for Nigerians as petrol, diesel prices rise again

Nigerians are facing new hardships as petrol and diesel prices rise, following a 6.7% increase in the price of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) by Dangote Refinery, raising it to N1,350 per litre. Northern cities like Abuja could see prices reaching N1,400 to N1,500 due to increased transportation costs. The average Brent crude price currently stands at $98.74 per barrel, contributing to rising costs in the economy.
