The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) and several other filling stations have increased the pump price of Premium Motor Spirit, pushing the cost of petrol to as high as ₦960 per litre in Abuja.
A check across parts of the Federal Capital Territory on Tuesday showed that NNPCL outlets adjusted their prices upward from ₦875 per litre sold on Monday to ₦960 per litre.
The latest adjustment represents an ₦85 increase per litre by the state-owned oil firm.
The new pump price has already been implemented at NNPCL stations along the Kubwa Expressway, Gwarimpa, Wuse Zone 6, Zone 4 and other parts of the city.
