JUST IN: NNPC Reduces Fuel Pump Price
Following outcry from Nigerians over the hike in fuel pump price, the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) has cut N2 from N155.17 ex-depot price earlier announced on Friday.
With this new price, a litre of petrol will now sell at between N166.17 and N170.17 across the country.
The state oil company announced the reduction in a statement on Friday night.
“NNPC is aware of a document widely circulating in the media purporting an increase in the PPMC Ex-Coastal Price and Ex-Depot Price (with collection) to N130 and N155.17 respectively and wishes to clarify that although there was a slight increase in the price based on the prevailing realities of market forces of demand and supply, the correct prices, as can be seen on PPMC’s “Customer Express” platform (online portal for procurement of petroleum products) are: Ex-Coastal Price – N128, and Ex-Depot Price (with collection) – N153.17,” the statement said.
