Responding to mounting public concerns and the prospect of a nationwide strike by a workers' union, the Nigerian government has decided to refrain from further increasing petrol prices. This decision comes after the recent surge in fuel costs, which had already led to two price hikes since the removal of the petrol subsidy in May. The move aims to address the growing dissatisfaction among the population and alleviate the potential for widespread protests and disruptions.
