Nigerians are protesting the recent increase in fuel pump prices, causing panic buying and long queues. The removal of fuel subsidy by President Bola Tinubu has led to a nationwide ban on fuel sales between N480 and N570 per litre. This has led to stranded individuals in Abuja being unable to access their work places. Nigerians have criticized the Federal Government for being insensitive to their struggles and blaming the government for not being more concerned about the masses. The Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN) President Chinedu Okoronkwo attributed the increase to the cost of dollars, stating that petroleum products are imported to Nigeria using dollars. IPMAN National Operations Controller Mike Osatuyi has previously projected that pump prices would increase when new fuel imports come into the country in July 2023.
