The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited, NNPCL, has increased the pump price of Premium Motor Spirit, PMS, popularly known as petrol.
A market survey on Tuesday showed that the
majority of NNPCL retail outlets in Abuja and its environs had increased their
petrol pump price to between N1,395 and N1,430 per litre.
This means that the state-owned oil firm adjusted its petrol
price upward by between N50 and N85 per litre.
The new prices have been implemented at NNPCL outlets in
Airport Junction, Gwarinpa, Kubwa Expressway, Wuse Zone 4 and other parts of
the nation’s capital and its environs.
This comes as MRS filling stations raised their petrol pump
price to N1,395 per litre following Dangote Refinery’s gantry price increase to
N1,265 per litre.
The upward fuel price review comes as Brent and West Texas
Intermediate, WTI, crude prices rose to $107 and $103 per barrel, respectively,
after Iran and the United States’ strikes took a devastating turn last week.
Recall that Iran struck Saudi Arabia’s East-West pipeline.
