NNPC Increases Pump Price Of Petrol To 179 Naira Per Litre
The Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Limited has approved an increase in the pump price of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) from N165 to N179 per litre, which will take effect on Tuesday, July 19.
The NNPC directed fuel marketers in a notice to change the petrol price on pumps to the new price effective today. This was despite the company raising the ex-depot price from N148.17 to N167 per litre.
This followed weeks of petrol scarcity across the country, as fuel retailers used different price bands to force unofficial deregulation attempts.
