The National Bureau of Statistics has recently published average prices of petrol in Nigeria.

However, Nigerians, who reacted immediately to the released data, debunked the report, claiming that most people in Nigeria now buy petrol way above the normal N86.50 price.

They now buy as high a N232, waiting for hours in long queues under tough weather conditions.

The national leader of the All Progressives Congress, Bola Tinubu, had last week criticised Kachikwu, saying he should apologise to Nigerians for saying he does not have a magic wand to end the ongoing fuel crisis.

However, the minister made a dramatic U-turn saying that the long queues at fuel station will last till April 7.

President Muhammadu Buhari has given approval to the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation to take additional crude oil volume to guarantee the country’s supply of PMS.
