NIGERIANS got a shocking parting gift from the Obasanjo administration at the weekend: a 15 per cent fuel price hike.

Fuel stations across the country raised their pump price to N75 per litre from N65. It was the first increase since 2005, following a directive to the fuel marketers by the Petroleum Products Prices Regulatory Agency (PPPRA).

There was no fuel price increase last year when the Federal Government budgeted N200 billion for fuel subsidy. Only N50 billion was in this year’s budget.

Fuel was selling for N19 per litre when the outgoing administration came in 1999. The latest increase would amount to 295 per cent jump since 1999.

A PPPRA official who spoke on condition of anonymity confirmed the development, saying official announcement would be made after the inauguration of the Umaru Musa Yar’Adua administration tomorrow. Officials of the major oil marketing firms also confirmed the development.

The PPPRA official said the fuel price hike was approved to avoid saddling the new government with an unsustainable level of subsidy on prices.

The nation, which consumes about 36 million litres per day, imports the bulk of the fuel as only one of its four refineries (Port Harcourt) is running partially. The Warri and Kaduna refineries are down because the pipeline that feeds them with crude has been damaged by Niger Delta militants.

Oil industry sources said the recent upsurge in crude prices to about $70 per barrel had raised landing cost of refined petrol to about N95 per litre.

An analyst said the price hike, implemented at service stations without any official announcement, is likely to cause an immediate crisis for the incoming government.

In Lagos, some of the marketers, following the PPPRA directive, adjusted their pumps to reflect the change without delay.

Several service stations were shut yesterday, ahead of the announcement.

A source at one of the major marketers’ service stations said that even at the N75 per litre pump price, the station would not open because there may likely be scarcity, following the oil workers’ strike.

"The situation is unpredictable but it may be harsh," the source said.

The Obasanjo administration had been itching to fully deregulate the downstream since 2000, but could not have its way because of opposition from Nigerians, particularly labour.

Previous price hikes had triggered crippling strikes by unions, which ordered a two-day sit-at-home today and tomorrow against what it called widespread fraud at last month’s elections.

The price increase is just one of a series of far-reaching decisions by Obasanjo in the dying days of his administration.

Since the polls, he has doubled value added tax, reshuffled the military, restructured the ports, auctioned oil and mining concessions and sold the country’s largest oil refinery.

In Abuja, the long queues witnessed at filling stations last week in Abuja have disappeared, but prices varied from the official pump price of N65 per litre to N75 per litre.

However, motorists who bought fuel in the city said that they paid N75 per litre, adding that the new price was conspicuously displayed at the stations.

The motorists decried what they called "a unilateral hike" as no announcement was made on the increase to a new price of N75 per litre and blamed the government for the development.

Good day Guys,

I will like to know what the law says about night browsing.
Of recent, there have being alot of noise about the existence of a legislation against night browsing, which i am not aware of.

If this law really exist, how are the cafe owners going to cope with the high operational cost (Bandwidht, Generator fuelling and Maintenance), computer repairs and maintenance)?

Is this law not against the constitution of Nigeria that as to do with freedow of movement at any time and right to be engage in legal business?

France is beating Spain tonight and going all out to beat Brasil and win the cup

Its seems to me dt African team are not really welcome to play in the world cup.Every match we played,we are always playing against the refree (Brasil Vs Ghana) which should not be so.
I think its high time we told FIFA dt we are not intrested in their world cup.

There is nothing as terrible as dt,if its a single lady,i will beg u to rid on but not married woman,i always say a man dt indulge in such thing is digging his grave--period

I will so much appreciate it if any friend can help me with a scrabble game that I can install on my PC so that I can play it anytime and as many times as I want.

The one I found free online and installed on my PC is a trial version which I can only play online once or twice before being told to pay for it. Thanks as I expect a favourable reply from a friend.

every responsible man--mean real responsible man need cover over his head--am not talking of building a house b4 buying a car but renting an apartment well funished.for me if not for the cost of building a house to that of buying a car,i would ve prefer a house b4 a car

I was fortunate to vote and witness option A4 and secreat voting system.To the best of my knowlegde the option A4 seems the best, tested and confirmed devoid of violent.
The secreat voting system is a terrible one dt anyone that witnessed and was on the field during the election day like myself (i contested) will pray dt such a process should not even be adopted.
