The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC, has advised the citizenry to report any station that sells petrol beyond one hundred and forty-five naira per litre.
A release signed by its Group General Manager, Public Affairs Division, Sir Ndu Ughamadu in Abuja maintained that there is enough petroleum products stock in the fifty-five NNPC depots across the
country adding that Motorists and other petroleum products consumers should not engage in panic buying while preparing for the Easter celebration.
According to the NNPC, the product is available in its twenty-three depots in Lagos, seven in Port Harcourt, eleven in Warri, six in Calabar and eight in Kaduna.
The release also states that two vessels of fifty million litres of petrol, would arrive the shores of Nigeria on daily basis from today.
It cautioned depot owners or terminal operators against selling petrol above the official price of one hundred and thirty-three naira twenty-eight Kobo per litre while Marketers are advised not to sell above one hundred and forty-five naira per litre.
It says that the subsisting ex-depot petrol price of one hundred and thirty-three naira twenty-eight Kobo per litre is consistent with the Petroleum Products Pricing Regulatory Agency’s template which should be adhered to.
