In a Facebook post, Tom Alims said it was an interesting time to be a Nigerian because the prices of PMS are gradually being driven down.
Tom shared a screenshot of the news on Facebook and said he hopes the prices are further driven down within the week.
According to Tom, he was hoping for that day that the price of PMS would be sold at the cost of N500 per liter.
His words:
“Interesting times to be a Nigerian. Before weekend, most NNPC fueling Stations across the nation will adjust their prices. I can’t wait for when prices will crash to less than N500.”

Some people who saw the post argued that the price reduction is due to the healthy competition between NNPC and the private sector led by Dangote Refinery.

Port Harcourt Refinery begins fuel distribution
