It’s worth noting that marketers had previously addressed pricing issues with the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL), which agreed to lower the ex-depot price of petrol to N955 per litre for marketers, providing a N3 discount from the earlier quoted price. Additionally, the federal government has granted approval for oil marketers to buy directly from the Dangote refinery.
