Fuel marketers in Kano State have jerked up their prices as a liter is being sold at between N900 and N950 per liter.
Following the increase, commercial tricycle operators within the metropolitan local government areas have also increased their fares by about 100 per cent.
This is coming just a few days after the #EndBadGovernanceInNigeria# nationwide protest.
It was observed that most of the filling stations in Kano city have also remained shut while the few that were selling the commodity were besieged by a long queue of vehicles.
The few filling stations that were operating, had already jerked up their prices from between N780 per liter and N850 per liter before the anti-hunger protest, to between N900 per liter and N950 per liter.
