“NNPC Retail Ltd has officially announced the PMS price at the Port Harcourt refinery as N1,030 per litre,” Obele noted.
Additionally, he revealed that the product request portal is now open for bookings. “It was also communicated to PETROAN that the product request portal was open for booking/request,” he added.
Obele further mentioned that PETROAN’s strategic pricing team is currently evaluating the best pricing options for its members. “We are open to patronizing all the refineries in Nigeria,” he said.
The association also appealed to the NNPCL to consider reducing the petrol price further to foster a more cheerful Yuletide celebration for Nigerians.
