The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited, NNPCL, has again increased pump price of petrol to N1,030 per litre.
The development was observed by our correspondent at some NNPCL outlets in Abuja, the nation’s capital on Wednesday.
The recent development came after the NNPCL decided to terminate its exclusive purchase agreement with Dangote Refinery.
This means the NNPCL will no longer be the sole off-taker, and marketers can now negotiate prices directly with Dangote Refinery.
The product was previously sold for N897 per liter, in the Federal Capital Territory, FCT.
Our correspondent further gathered that in Lagos, fuel which previously sold for N885 per litre, is now being sold at N998 amid long queues.
