The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) has insisted that the ex-depot price of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), popularly known as Petrol, will not be increased in March.
This was disclosed by the corporation via its Twitter handle @NNPCgroup on Friday.

Contrary to the reports across some media Organisations, NNPC assured Nigerians that there won’t be any increase in the price of petrol in March.
This information also conflicts with the earlier reports from the PPPRA stating the official increases to N212. Nigeria citizens in response to the conflicting reports took to social media to express their grievances.
You need to explain what you mean, PPPRA announced N209-212, pumps have been adjusted accordingly and yet you said no increase in ex-depot price. Please let’s know what you mean, you need to break it down for us
