The recent increase in the price of fuel in Nigeria has been the major headline all day. And this has gotten many Nigerians angry, as the price suddenly increased from around N175 per litre to N212 per litre. Personally, on hearing the news, I was really shocked as to where this nation is heading to. However, the minister for petroleum has now revealed that alongside him, President buhari wasn't aware of the change in price.
Meanwhile, I will be using this opportunity to show you how the price of fuel has increased in Nigeria over the last 5 decades. And i will also be showing the only President who didn't increase the price of fuel throughout his tenure. So let's Go...

2. Murtala Mohammed: In the year 1976, murtala Mohammed increased the price from 8.45 Kobo to 15.3 Kobo.
