The news of adjustment in the official pump price of PMS from N199 per liter to an undisclosed price by the management of the NNPC, on Wednesday, was greeted with condemnation and displeasure from residents of Bauchi.
Those who spoke to Tribune Online expressed divergent views berating the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu led APC Federal Government as insensitive to the sufferings Nigerians went through in the last 8 years of Muhammadu Buhari.
In all the NNPC Mega stations in Bauchi and a few major marketers like Matrix, Shafa and AA Rano, the pump price adjustment has been effected in line with the directive by the nation’s oil company.
However, a visit to a few filling stations owned and operated by independent marketers, the pump price varies from N550 to N700 per litre, a development that has forced many people to park their cars until the situation improves.
Some of them who spoke to our Correspondent expressed dismay over the development, stating that it is too early for the administration to start with such a sensitive situation as fuel subsidy.
They however advised that President Tinubu watch very carefully before taking a step that may rubbish whatever good intentions he has for the country.
