The Petroleum Products Pricing Regulatory Agency (PPPRA) has disclosed in a new monthly template that the price of Premium Motor Spirit, popularly known as petrol, has reached N212.6 per litre.
According to the template which the PPPRA released midnight, petrol is expected to sell at a lower retail price of N209.61 and at an upper retail price of N212.61. Nigerian marketers usually use the upper band for pump price.
The expected ex-depot price, as seen in the template, is N206.42, while the landing cost is N189.61.
This is despite the Nigerian Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) saying there wonāt be any change in the price of PMS in the month of March.ā
NNPC had promised that petrol price would remain static in March to allow smooth negotiations between the government and labour unions, but the PPPRA template follows the increasing price of crude at the international market as well as instability in exchange rate.
