Hetty said she bought 11 litres of fuel at the cost of N10,000 and that she would use it to power her generator.
High cost of fuel in Nigeria
Each litre of PMS she bought cost N900, which is higher than the 700 it was sold in some parts of the country earlier in the month of April.
Hetty wondered how long she would continue buying fuel, considering the little she makes in her business.
Hetty said:
“N10k fuel gave me 11.11L @ 900p/L. How long can we continue like this? How much am I making? Getting to the shop, no light. I have to buy fuel to run generator to enable me sew, weave, iron and deliver customers’ clothes. All these make me sad.”
On Sunday, there were media reports that fuel sold as high as N2000 per litre in states such as Sokoto.
