The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited, NNPCL, on Monday announced a reduction in the pump price of Premium Motor Spirit, PMS, commonly known as petrol, to N860 per litre.
This development is the latest in a price war among oil marketers and independent petroleum dealers.
It was also influenced by fluctuations in global crude oil prices.
The new NNPCL price, which takes effect on Monday, marks a significant drop from the previous average of N920 per litre.
Last week, Dangote Petroleum Refinery reduced the ex-depot price of petrol from N890 per litre to N825, marking its second price cut in February.
In a public notice on the price reduction, NNPCL announced three partner off-takers in Lagos: MRS at N860 per litre, AP at N865 per litre, and Heyden at N865 per litre.
