From Uganda to Nigeria to Zimbabwe and Ghana, fuel prices are rising. This is the main problem due to several factors, including shortages.

In the greatly populous country in Africa, Nigeria, gasoline has been short for almost a month. An article by Business Insider Africa stated that Nigeria's fuel shortages started up after the country bought imported fuel. Actions by the West African National Energy Agency (NNPC) to clear up contaminated products on the market have resulted in shortages. Since then, advertisers have been involved in fundraising and profit-making.

Interestingly, despite the increase in prices in Nigeria, this country is not among the most expensive per liter in Africa- because the Nigerian Government is heavily funded. Furthermore, the increase in fuel costs in Africa is also due to Russia's ongoing invasion of Ukraine. Therefore, the conflict can further have an even greater impact on electricity prices in Africa.

As per the DW, fears of a possible reduction in Russia's pollution are another component that has contributed to rising global energy costs. As Russia is the world's main leading producer. If the US or EU countries agree to extend Russia's growing economic sanctions by prohibiting its oil, it could signal a global energy industry crisis.

The global oil prices have already exceeded $ 100 per barrel, as documented in 2014. This property currently trades at $ 102.6 per barrel, according to the average price of Brent Crude. Since moving forward with the 10 African countries with the increased fuel prices, it is significant to note that the main cause of rising energy costs in Africa is that almost all African oil-producing countries have ceased to function to improve capacity to improve the product in place.
