EKO HOT BLOG reports that this price variation reflects the logistical and distribution challenges NNPCL faces, impacting fuel costs across different regions.

Soneye explained, “NNPC Ltd has released the estimated prices of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), commonly known as petrol, sourced from Dangote Refinery for retail across the country.”

He added, “In line with the Petroleum Industry Act, PMS prices are not set by the government but are determined through negotiations between the parties involved. NNPC Ltd can confirm it is paying Dangote Refinery in USD for the September 2024 PMS offtake, with naira transactions set to begin on October 1, 2024. Any discounts provided by Dangote Refinery will be passed on entirely to the public.”
