The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) Limited increased its pump price of fuel from N617 per litre to N897 per litre on Tuesday morning.
This represents an increase of over 45 percent.
NNPC Retail stations in Abuja reflected the new fuel price.
When contacted, NNPC’s Chief Communications Officer, Mr. Olufemi Soneye, said:
“I’m not aware of this. Thank you for reaching out. I have no comment on the matter at this time.”
An unconfirmed social media message earlier hinted at the new fuel price:
“Good morning all. This is to inform you that NNPC Retail Management has approved an upward review of PMS pump price from N617/litre to N897/litre effective today, 3rd September 2024.
Please, ensure all your pumps and totems (price boards)/MIDs reflect the new PMS price of N897/liter. Thank you.”
