The price of Petrol has increased to about N617 per litre in Abuja the nation’s capital.
A visit to an NNPC filling station in the Central area of Abuja on Tuesday morning confirmed that the fuel price has been adjusted from N539 to N617 per litre.
A customer who confirmed this development said “It is true, I just bought at N617 per liter,”
The immediate reason could not be ascertained but it is not unconnected to the recent projections by oil marketers that fuel price will hit N700 per litre soon.
However, the Nigeria Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NDMPRA) is yet to comment on the issue as at the time of filling this report.
