FUEL SUBSIDY: NNPC Releases New Petrol Price After Subsidy Removal

The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC) has adjusted the pump price of petrol by nearly 200% to between N488 and N557 nationwide.

The adjustment came shortly after President Bola Tinubu announced during his inaugural address on Monday that fuel subsidy was ‘gone.’

The new rates have been adjusted upward from N189 to N194 to N537 per liter in Abuja and other North-central States.

For Lagos and other South-west states, a liter of fuel now sells between N488 and N500 per liter.
