 The price of a litre of automotive gas oil, also known as diesel, has risen to 280 Naira per litre, sustained by the recent increase in global oil prices and Naira devaluation. The price of diesel range from 270 Naira to 280 Naira per litre in several fueling stations in Lagos, but the product was sold for 267 Naira, 50 Cobble at NNPC retail stations. Reacting to this, the Director-General of the Lagos Chamber of Commerce and Industry Dr Mouda Yusuf said the high diesel cost is taking a huge toll on operating and production costs across sectors. Diesel is mostly used by businesses to power their generators amid lack of reliable power supply from the national grid.
