The Spokesperson of Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited, NNPCL, Olufemi Soneye, said he was unaware of any fresh Premium Motor Spirit pump price increase across its retail outlets.
He told the Daily Post in an exclusive interview on Tuesday.
Soneye’s comment comes amid speculation that the NNPCL had increased the fuel pump price from N1,030 per litre to N1060 in Abuja.
However, the state-owned oil firm spokesperson 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 the Dily 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.
