The price surge came mere months after the oil company had greenlit an upward revision in the pump price of petroleum nationwide. President Bola Tinubu had announced the removal of fuel subsidy during his inaugural address on 29 May, setting the stage for significant changes in the country's fuel market.

Following the NNPCL's announcement, outlets across the nation were directed to sell fuel within a price range of N480 and N570 per litre, representing an almost 200 percent increase from the previous rate, which was well below N200.
