Some Lagos residents on Wednesday decried an increase in transport fares due to increase in the pump price of petrol by the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation Ltd. (NNPCL).

The NNPCL, on Tuesday, increased the pump price of petrol, also known as Premium Motor Spirit, from N568 to N855 at its outlets.

Some Lagos residents, who spoke to NAN on Wednesday, described the current fuel situation in Nigeria as biting, saying that it had affected transport.

A businesswoman, Mrs Beatrice Okonkwo, said that the increase had become frustrating to low-income earners.

“Today, I stepped out to get to my child’s school, and I noticed an increase in transport fare.

“From Gate to Cele Bus Stop, which used to be N200, is now N300, and from Ijesha to Yaba, which was N200 by tricycle, is now N400.

“Drivers are even saying they would further increase the fares to be able to recoup money they spent on fueling,” she said.

She appealed to the Federal Government to do more to alleviate the sufferings of the citizens.

A civil servant, who wants to be identified simply as Modinot, urged the government to address the fuel situation urgently.

According to Modinot, transport fares from Ipaja to Costain through Oshodi increased from N1,000 to N1,700 on Wednesday.

Modinot regretted that workers were facing the increase although they had yet to be paid the new minimum wage.

“Government should listen to our cries,” Modinot said.

A banker, Mrs Tope Okunola, told NAN that commercial motorcyclists and tricyclists also increased their charges.

She said that commuters had always suffered from any increase in petrol prices.

“We are not finding it funny at all. Before, in my area, Festac Town, I paid N200 to the next junction, but today it cost N300.

“As transport fare goes up, so will foodstuffs prices in the markets.

“The ordinary person cannot eat again.

“Government should really address the situation fast,” she said. (NAN)

This is not funny, they will roll out palliative soon, cups of rice would be shared around to calm everyone. Palliatives can't work this time around.

When we warned about Tinubu, some thought we were just hating on the man...

Them never start the cry. Them go cry am reach next 3yrs.
Await 10kg of rice from your master soon then after that, watch out the skyrocket of foodstuffs

This is not the final price of pms, they are gradually ramping up the price. They are planning for the storyline of the next increment before December2024, Nigerians will bear the full weight of incompetency mixed with heavy dose of corruption, while keeping the masses busy through state sponsored tribalism.

Crying is never a solution to Tinubu wickedness.

What do you expect when deranged, myopic, incompetent people are in power.

When we complained about the high cost of foodstuffs they asked us to go back to farming, now that there's high cost of transportation what will they advice us to do now?🤷‍♂️

As usual Nigerians only decry and never act

No wonder Margaret Thatcher said that if you push Nigerians to the wall that instead of to react that they will simply create a hole in the wall to feel comfortable

Naija is finished Ipaja to Costain that used to be #200 during buhari time don multiply nonsense and ingrideint Nigeria

Why are they complaining, I thought they said they will teach us a political lesson.







We presented good candidate name peter obi una say him be igbo. If you supported tinubu during the election and you are complaining now, God will not forgive you.

Emi lo kan
