Petroleum marketers in Nigeria have increased the price of the commodity from N165 to N189 in the northeastern part of the country.
Based on the new pump price regime of the commodity, people of the Northeastern part of the country will pay the highest litre price of petrol in Nigeria.
Comparatively, the marketers said a litre of petrol in the South West, South-South and Southeast goes for N179. However, in the Northwest, a litre of petrol goes for N184.
