Kunle Afolayan Laments Rising Diesel Cost, Says Film Village Spends ₦11m Monthly on Fuel
Nollywood filmmaker Kunle Afolayan has raised concerns over the rising cost of diesel in Nigeria, saying the situation is putting heavy financial pressure on his businesses.

In a video shared on his Instagram page, the filmmaker revealed that his facility, KAP Film Village and Resort, spends about ₦11 million on diesel every four to five weeks just to maintain electricity supply.

Afolayan explained that although the resort has invested in solar power, diesel generators remain essential for stable power.

According to him, the sharp increase in diesel prices, now around ₦1,500 per litre, has made operations increasingly difficult.

He disclosed that the business has often had to purchase diesel on credit, settling the payments gradually whenever income comes in.

“At times it takes up to two months to clear the debt before we can even get another supply,” he said, noting that the latest price jump has made the situation even more challenging.

The filmmaker’s comments come at a time when fuel costs are rising across Nigeria.
