The Nigerian National Petroleum(NNPC) Limited has approved an upward review in the pump price of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) from N165 per litre to N179 per litre, effective tomorrow (Tuesday).
NNPC Limited in a notice to fuel marketers directed them to change the petrol price on pumps to the new price effective tomorrow (Tuesday).
This was even as the company equally increased the ex- depot price from N148.17 to N167 per litre.
While some filling stations have changed the price on their meters to reflect the current price they are selling at, others have left theirs to show the approved retail price of N165 per litre but were selling above the displayed price.
For instance, the Mobil filling station on Agidingbi sold a litre of petrol at N170 per litre on Friday and that was evidently displayed on their meters.
The development was also the same at Enyo filling station at Chisco bus stop, in Lekki, which now sells for N170 per litre, Eterna filling station at Jankade bus stop, Lekki at N180per litre and Mobil Filing station, by Osapa London, Lekki now selling at N170 per litre.
All the above three filling stations in Lekki have had the new prices reflected on their meters while the big board which normally
have their prices displayed for motorists to see have equally been changed.
In Osun State, filling stations have since last week been selling between N175 to N200, with only major marketers especially Bovas and NIPCO selling at N165 per litre.
