This is due to the increase in the cost of diesel, which these marketers use to power their trucks.
In many places, the product is now sold for N1,100 per litre.
The marketers claimed that in order to stop the issue, the federal government needs act quickly.
This is the attitude of the marketers working under the auspices of NOGASA, the Nigerian Natural Oil and Gas Suppliers' Association.
In a press release bearing its president Benneth Korie's signature, they raised the alarm.
They yelled out that the price of diesel has been steadily rising in recent months.
In order to moderate pricing and economic shocks, NOGASA is concerned about the ugly development and attempting to understand why diesel prices are rising to as much as N950 to N1,100 per litre in the market.
