The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) has increased the pump price of petrol across its retail outlets.
According to reports, the NNPCL retail outlets in Abuja have adjusted their petrol pump price to N955 per litre from N890.
Further reports said the new pump price was observed at the NNPCL retail outlets along Kubwa Expressway, Wuse and other parts of Abuja.
Similarly, the pump price hike has been implemented at filling stations in Kogi and Nasarawa.
This means that the petrol pump price was increased by N65.
This comes after independent petroleum product marketers and filling station owners in Abuja increased petrol pump prices to between N950 and N971 per litre at the weekend. Their decision followed an upward review of the ex-depot petrol price by Dangote Refinery to N858 per litre, up from N820.
