Nigerians rush to NNPC stations for fuel

Meanwhile, TheTalk.NG previously reported that Nigerians had rushed to NNPC stations to buy cheap fuel.

The Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Limited filling stations sell fuel at N568 per litre amid fuel scarcity. This is in contrast to independent marketers’ filling stations, which sell at between N750 and N950 per litre.

NNPC Retail Ltd has over 900 stations ranging from Affiliate Stations, Mega Stations, and Standard Stations to Leased Stations, Ultra-modern Stations, and Floating Stations. Checks by TheTalk.NG showed that most of the stations around Lagos state sell fuel at around N568 per litre to N620 per litre.
