Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited has reduced its premium motor spirit pump price barely 48 hours after the hike across retail outlets.
It was gathered on Wednesday that NNPCL retail outlets have
adjusted their fuel pump price downward to N900 per litre from N955.
The state-owned oil firm retail outlets in Gwarimpa, Kubwa
Expressway, Wuse Zone 6, and Wuse Zone 4 have implemented the new petrol pump
price as of Wednesday morning.
“On Tuesday we sold fuel at N955 per litre, but it is now
N900,” an attendant working with the NNPCL retail outlet in Abuja said anonymously.
This means that NNPCL reduced its fuel by N55 per litre
after effecting a hike on Monday to N955 per litre.
Outside NNPCL retail outlets, Ranoil and Empire Energy
filling stations in Gwarimpa, Abuja, have adjusted their fuel prices to N955
and N950 per litre, respectively, from N971 and N970.
Meanwhile, one of the managers of MRS filling stations in
Abuja, he said their fuel pump price has remained at N885.
Recall that the market had earlier blamed the recent fuel
price hike across filling stations on the increase in the ex-depot prices of
the product in Dangote Refinery and depots.
