A research and survey firm “NOI Polls’’ says 86 per cent of Nigerians buy petrol at an average of N199 per litre.
The firm revealed this in its latest report released in Abuja on Tuesday, adding that the amount was far above the N145 per litre price approved by the Federal Government.
It said its finding was in conjunction with the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) Petrol Price Watch Report, which revealed that Nigerians bought petrol at an average of N191 per litre in January.
The firm said the result of the poll, which was conducted on Feb. 5, highlighted the need for stakeholders in the oil and gas sector, especially the Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR), to intensify efforts toward price monitoring exercises. (NAN)
