Check pump prices to calculate your savingsMotorists should check the prevailing price at their chosen NNPC station before calculating their expected savings.The N66 discount is deducted from the pump price rather than setting a uniform price across the country.For example, if petrol sells for N1,370 per litre at an Abuja station, the discounted price would be N1,304. At a Lagos station selling petrol for N1,350 per litre, customers would pay N1,284 after the discount.Actual prices may vary by location and change during the promotional period.NNPC has stressed that the initiative is a temporary customer-relief measure and does not represent a return to petrol subsidy.Marketers reduce petrol pricesEarlier, Legit.ng reported that petrol prices in Calabar and Port Harcourt have fallen below Dangote Petroleum Refinery’s ex-gantry price as depot operators compete for buyers amid increased product availability.The development means some depots in the two markets are selling petrol below Dangote Refinery’s N1,325 per litre ex-gantry rate.The lowest price of N1,303 per litre was recorded at Matrix and Soroman depots in Calabar, creating a N22 per litre difference with Dangote’s current rate.
