Just In: NNPCL Bumps Petrol Price to N960 Per Litre in Lagos!

Here’s the latest buzz in the world of fuel prices, and trust me, it’s one for the books. If you’re in Lagos or its surrounding areas, brace yourself because there’s been a shakeup at the pump.

So, here’s the tea: The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) has tweaked the price of premium motor spirit (PMS), aka petrol. Just last month, on December 23, 2024, to be precise, they surprised us with a price drop. Yup, petrol went from a whopping ₦1,025 per litre to ₦925 at their retail stations. A little relief, right?

Well, fast forward to this week, and it seems that relief didn’t last too long. On Tuesday, I noticed something while driving by an NNPC station: the price has jumped again! Now, petrol at their outlets is ₦960 per litre. Yep, you heard that right ₦960. It’s not a huge leap from the previous ₦925, but still, it’s a pinch on the wallet for many.

Honestly, this isn’t the New Year glow-up we hoped for. Keeping track of what’s next is hard with prices swinging up and down. But hey, this move could signal something bigger in the fuel market, so keep an eye out.

As we navigate these changes, it’s crucial to stay informed and plan your budget wisely. Let’s hope there’s more clarity soon on this fuel price rollercoaster.
