Nigerians really have to appreciate the fact that history of fuel have really shown present and future Nigerians how fuel price has been regulated since the time of general Yakubu GOWON (1966-1975) to the present day Muhammadu Buhari (2016) and also to see how the present day government have help in solving the present fuel crisis.

Before I list the history of fuel Prices in Nigeria let me commend The present day administration in trying to solve the fuel issues by making Nigeria refinery work and refining it's petroleum products. That is a very great boast to the nation's economy.

I will also love to use this medium to support and commend the present day government on it's anti-corruption campaign, that it should be extended to the marketers of this products by ensuring that fuel are sold at the approved price.
