BREAKING: NNPCL raises petrol pump price

The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) has once again adjusted the price of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), commonly known as petrol, across its retail outlets.

According to reports by DAILY POST, NNPCL stations in Wuse Zone 6 and Zone 4 areas of Abuja have increased their pump price from ₦890 to ₦905 per litre, marking a ₦15 adjustment roughly a 1.7% upward review.

The president of the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria, Abubakar Maigandi, attributed the hike to supply disruption caused by the Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria and the Dangote Refinery feud.

He, however, stated that its members dispense petrol between N885 and N895 per litre.

“It is due to PENGASSAN’s strike disruption.However, members still sell at N885 and N895 per litre,” he told DAILY POST.

Recall that PENGASSAN’s feud with Dangote Refinery over the mass sacking of Nigerian workers led to a two-day strike action.

However, the federal government intervened, which resulted in the suspension of the strike action.
