The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL), has increased the pump price of Petrol, known as Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) from N537 to N617 in Abuja and environs.
There were slight queues at some filling stations on Tuesday morning as NNPC filling stations in Abuja remained shut.
The NNPCL station in Abuja had already adjusted its pump price to N617 per litre but were motorists slow to start buying at the new pump price.
Recall that in May, a day after President Tinubu was sworn into Power the Nation’s Apex Petrol station increased the fuel price from N195 per litre to 537 per litre.
Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NDMPRA) has not commented on the development at the time of filing this report.
