Reactions have continued to trail the recent increase in the pump price of petrol to 145 Naira per litre by the Federal Government.
Residents of Owerri, the Imo state capital, say the recent decision by the government to peg petrol at 145 Naira per litre is unacceptable and shows insensitivity of the Federal Government to the plight of the masses.
Some of the residents say this action will totally compound the present economic challenges facing the country, coupled with the unemployment rate in the country.
Meanwhile, a trip round the Owerri metropolis showed that most of the fuel stations have immediately complied with the directive and have started selling at 145 Naira per litre even though most of them sold at lower prices on Wednesday night.
