The Nigerian National Petroleum Limited (NNPCL) has increased petrol price to N992 per litre from N865 per litre.
No official reason has been given for the increment as of the time of filing this report.
Across NNPC retail outlets visited by The Nation, attendants were seen adjusting their pumps to reflect the new price.
At NNPC filling station on Ogunusi road, Ojodu Berger, petrol attendants at the station said they were instructed to change the price to reflect the new rate N992 per litre.
However, checks at Ibafo along the Lagos /Ibadan expressway showed that NNPC outlets still displayed the old price of N875 per litre, although they were not selling to commuters.
Most of the NNPC stations were not dispensing fuel.
