The Petroleum Products Marketing Company, PPMC on Wednesday increased the price for the Premium Motor Spirit, PMS, commonly known as Petrol from N138.62 to N151.56 per litre.
This was contatined in a statement by D.O Abalaka of PPMC , which is also a subsidiary of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC.
The statement reads “Please be informed that a new product price adjustment has been effected on our payment platform,” PPMC said in a memo to industry stakeholders.
“To this end, the price of premium motor spirit (PMS) is now one hundred and fifty-one naira, fifty-six kobo (N151.56) per litre.”
The agency also revealed that the new price takes effect Wednesday, September 2, 2020.
Some reactions from Nigerians below;
March 2018, when it was time to reduce the pump price of petrol from N145/litre to N125, the “approval” was by “President Muhammadu Buhari“.
Today, time to increase it from N138.62 to N151.56, the “announcement” is by “PPMC”.
Smart play on avoidance of responsibility.

The people who were jumping up & down in Ojota with us under GEJ when Petrol was N86 are now buying for N151 without complain. Fear will not even allow them try the things they did against Jonathan to Buhari.

I congratulate Buhari & APC supporters on the raise of Petrol price to N151.56.
These set of people are clearly exempted from the horrific policies of this regime. The increased electricity tariff won’t affect them & now there’s so much Rice for export in Kano.#RevolutionNow

Buhari was shocked when petrol was bellow N70 per litre during GEJ regime, now 1 litre of petrol is N151. After all, he appointed himself as the minister of petrol. wow!
