There has been an increase in pump prices of petrol and kerosene by major petroleum marketers in Calabar, Cross River State capital.
The pump price of petrol was adjusted from N162-N163 to N172-N173 and N175 per litre.
Complaining about the surprising and arbitrary increase, a man who identified himself as Chief Archibong Ekpe, said he had never seen this kind of thing.
While speaking she regretted that the increase will affect the price of foodstuff and other items including transportation.
He also stated that the increase in petroleum product cannot come down again, instead, it will increase to N200 per litre before the quarter ends.
When contacted via phone on Wednesday, the NUPENG Chairman, Dozzy Nwogwugwu said he was very busy and should back on Monday, “I said call me back on Monday, I am in a meeting about that fuel increase.”
