- Soneye comment comes amid reports that NNPCL had increased fuel pump to from N1,030 per litre to N1060 in Abuja
The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited has spoken on fresh increase in the pump price of Premium Motor Spirit popularly known as petrol.
NNPCL said it was not aware of any new hike in price of petrol across its retail outlets.
The Spokesperson of NNPCL, Olufemi Soneye, made this known in an interview with DAILY POST.
Soneye comment comes amid reports that NNPCL had increased fuel pump to from N1,030 per litre to N1060 in Abuja.
However, the state-owned oil firm spokesperson, Soneye, said, “There is no increase in gasoline price that I am aware of.”.
Similarly, the spokesperson of the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria, Chinedu Ukadike, said NNPCL’s ex-depot price has not changed.
“For independent marketers, we have experienced a fresh price hike as I am speaking with you. NNPCL still sells to us at the same price.
“For Port Harcourt, it is N1040 per litre; Abuja and Lagos are around N990 per litre,” he told DAILY POST on Tuesday.
Earlier, the President of Dangote Group, Aliko Dangote, said petroleum marketers are ignoring its refinery’s 500 million litres of fuel.
Recall that on 9 October 2024, NNPCL had increased its petrol price to N1030 per litre
