The Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Limited has refuted claims that it plans to increase its pump prices for Premium Motor Spirit, commonly referred to as petrol.
The company’s management, in a statement shared Friday on X, said this was contrary to speculation.
“Dear esteemed customers, we at NNPC Retail value your patronage, and we do not have the intention to increase our PMS pump prices as widely speculated,” the statement read.
Since President Bola Tinubu assumed office on May 29, declaring that “fuel subsidy is gone“, the NNPC has increased its prices at least twice, now costing three times the cost at the time: below N200 per litre.
