This comes after independent petroleum product marketers and filling station owners in Abuja increased petrol pump prices.
The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited, NNPCL, has announced it has increased the pump price of premium motor spirit across its retail outlets.
The new fuel pump price was increased from N890 to N955 per litre.
This is the case in NNPCL retail outlets along Kubwa Expressway, Wuse and other parts of Abuja.
Similarly, the pump price hike has been implemented at filling stations in Kogi and Nasarawa.
This means that the petrol pump price was increased by N65.
This comes after independent petroleum product marketers and filling station owners in Abuja increased petrol pump prices to between N950 and N971 per litre at the weekend. Their decision followed an upward review of the ex-depot petrol price by Dangote Refinery to N858 per litre, up from N820.
