Aviation fuel has in the last three years risen by about 143 per cent, this is according to information from the aviation industry.
Airline operators said the product which sold at N255 per litre this week has been scarce in the last two weeks.
It was further gathered that the price of the commodity fluctuated between N200 and N220 until about two weeks ago when an artificial scarcity raised the price to N235.
Meanwhile, the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation says there is enough stock of aviation fuel to meet the needs of airline operators and other consumers of the product.
