The Explainer checks revealed that some NNPC’s retail stations in Lagos have adjusted their pumps to N860 per litre from the previous N945 per litre.
However, there is no official statement from NNPC over the reduction of the price.
The national Vice President of the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN), Hammed Fashola, confirmed the reduction, noting that it’s a welcome development and relief to Nigerians.
“It is true, NNPC is selling petrol at N860 in the filling stations. Though this has not reflected on the portal, they told me they are working on updating the portal,” he said.
