Former Senator representing Kaduna Central, Shehu Sani, has reacted to the latest increase in the price of Premium Motor Spirit, popularly known as petrol.

MyNigeria gathered that the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Limited has increased petrol price to N835 per litre in Lagos, and N839 per litre in Abuja.

This has led several filling stations to adjust their pump prices to reflect the latest NNPC increase.

NNPC increased the price of the product by N50 from N785 per litre in Lagos and by N20 from N815 in Abuja.

The development comes a day after the Dangote refinery increased the ex-gantry price of its petrol to N799 per litre.

The refinery said MRS retail outlets will now sell the product at N839 per litre — up from N739 per litre.

Reacting, Shehu Sani said, "Nowadays, you can be in a queue at a Petrol station, before it reaches your turn, it’s either the NNPC or Dangote has adjusted their pump prices. The adjustment used to be monthly, then weekly, and now it’s just anytime.
