The Organised Labour has called on Nigerians to reject the new hike price of petrol from N170 per litre to N185 per litre introduced by the Federal Government.<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
\nThe FG officially increased the price of petrol by 8.8 per cent as the ex-depot price also shot up from N148 per litre to N167.<\/p>\n

However, it is noted that many filling stations have been selling far above this new price, a situation which may have made the new price almost impracticable.<\/p>\n

\nReacting to the announcement of the petrol hike, Organised Labour, expressed shock over the increase, describing it as the \u201clast kick of a dying regime.\u201d<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
