The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited has reduced its premium motor spirit pump price on Thursday, The Eastern Updates reports.
It has also been confirmed that NNPCL retail outlets in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, have reduced their pump price to N890 per litre from N945.
This new fuel price has been reflected in NNPCL retail outlets such as mega station Danziyal Plaza, Central Area, Wuse Zone 4, Wuse Zone 6, and other of its filling stations in the nation’s capital.

The latest downward review of fuel price in NNPCL outlets represents an N55 reduction in fuel pump price.
“It was reduced to N890 per litre this afternoon, down from N945,” an NNPCL fuel attendant told Newsmen anonymously on Thursday.
This comes after The Eastern Updates reports that a Nigerian filling station, MRS Empire Energy, on Thursday adjusted their fuel pump price to N885 and N946 per litre, down from N910 and N955 per litre.
The latest fuel price reduction trend is unconnected to Dangote Refinery’s ex-depot petrol price adjustment by N30 to N820 per litre from N850 and the price of crude oil in the international market.
In other news, Nigeria’s presidency has said that the Group Chief Executive Officer of Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited, Bayo Ojulari, has not been forced to sign his resignation letter.
Sunday Dare, a presidential spokesperson, made this clarification in a terse statement exclusively to Newsmen on Saturday night.
His clarification comes as reports emerged that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission and the Department of State Services allegedly forced Ojulari to sign his resignation letter.
