NNPC filling stations slash petrol pump price
Earlier, Legit.ng reported that petrol prices at filling stations operated by the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC Limited) in Lagos have been adjusted downward again, bringing relief to motorists amid fluctuating fuel costs.
Petrol attendants at the NNPC filling station at Alfred Rewane Road, Ikeja, confirmed the new price.
The refinery surprised petrol importers when it communicated the price adjustment to marketers
Despite the recent reductions, industry stakeholders warned that the lower pump prices may be temporary as developments in the Middle East continue to influence global oil prices.Brent crude and West Texas Intermediate (WTI) traded at about $76 and $71 per barrel, respectively, on Saturday after easing from earlier gains triggered by renewed tensions involving the United States and Iran.
