How Fuel Price Rose From 6 Kobos To N212 in Nigeria, the Only President Who Didn’t Increase It

The recent increase in the price of fuel in Nigeria has been the major headline all day. And this has gotten many Nigerians worried and angry, as the price suddenly increased from around N175 per litre to N212 per litre.

Personally, on hearing the news, I was really shocked as to where this nation is heading to. However, the minister for petroleum has now revealed that alongside him, President Buhari wasn’t aware of the change in price.

Meanwhile, I will be using this opportunity to show you how the price of fuel has increased in Nigeria over the last 5 decades. And i will also be showing the only President who didn’t increase the price of fuel throughout his tenure. So let’s Go…

9. Olusegun Obasanjo: In the year 2000, President Obasanjo increased the price from N20 to N30. But in that same year, he decreased it to N22. However in 2002, he increased it to N26 before skyrocketing it to N42 in 2003. In 2004, the price Rose to N50 and in the same year, the price rose to N65 before it later increased to N75.
