The price of Petrol has increased to about N617 per litre, Daily Trust confirm.
According to Daily Trust, they visited an NNPC filling station in the Central area of Abuja to confirm that the fuel price has now been adjusted from N539 to N617 per litre.
The immediate reason could not be ascertained but it is not unconnected to the recent projections by oil marketers that fuel price will hit N700 per litre soon, Daily Trust added.
The Nigeria Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NDMPRA) is yet to comment to enquiry as at the time of filling this report.
