Here's a sample script for a news anchor to announce the new petrol price in Nigeria:
[INTRO MUSIC FADES OUT]
Anchor: Good evening, I'm [Name], and this is [News Channel] bringing you the latest news from around the country.
[CUT TO GRAPHICS WITH NEW PETROL PRICE]
Anchor: The Nigerian Labour Congress, NLC, has announced a protest against the new petrol price introduced by the Federal Government. The new price, which takes effect from today, is N212 per liter, a 25% increase from the previous price of N169 per liter.
[CUT TO FOOTAGE OF PROTESTERS]
Anchor: The NLC has called on its members to take to the streets to protest the new price, which they say is too high and will further worsen the economic situation in the country. The union is demanding a reversal of the price hike and a more sustainable solution to the country's fuel crisis.
[CUT TO INTERVIEW WITH NLC OFFICIAL]
Anchor: We spoke to the President of the NLC, Ayuba Wabba, who told us that the union is not opposed to a reasonable increase in petrol price, but the current hike is unacceptable.
Wabba: "The new price is a burden on the ordinary Nigerian. It will further increase the cost of living and worsen the economic situation in the country. We are calling on the government to reverse the price hike and find a more sustainable solution to the fuel crisis."
[CUT BACK TO ANCHOR]
Anchor: The protest is expected to take place in major cities across the country, including Lagos, Abuja, and Port Harcourt. We will bring you updates on the situation as it unfolds.

Anchor: That's all for now. Thank you for watching [News Channel]. We'll be back after this break.
