The scarcity has led to a spike in prices of different commodities in the Nigerian market. Earlier in January 2021, a Toyota Highlander 2008 engine was N300,000, but it now sells around N550,000 to N600,000.


A Toyota Corolla S engine as of December was between N320,000 to N330,000 now sells for N380,000 and N400,000.
