Nigerians have lamented over the increase in the price of diesel and the current fuel scarcity.
This is as the federal government and the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation have failed to find a solution to the lingering crisis.
The price of diesel has now skyrocketed to around N625 per litre forcing people to complain on social media.
According to TheCable, this is four percent higher than the N540/litre it sold last week — and about a 30 percent increase in the two weeks.
The development is coming amid fears that the United States and its European allies will ban imports of Russian crude.
