PPPRA Deletes Petrol Increase Template From Website

Following outcry over the hike in price of Premium Motor Spirit (pms) to N212.61 per litre, in a twist, the Petroleum Products Pricing Agency (PPPRA) on Friday deleted its latest pricing template of N212.61 per litre from its website.

According to The Nation, Its spokesperson, Folasade Kayode had declined comment when it sought to know the true position on the new price regime and the reason for deleting what it already communicated via its website.

“I am in a meeting. I will call you back”, She simply said, according to The Nation.

According to the report, as at 11:00am, it was discovered the PPPRA had removed not only the latest template but even those of early 2021.

The latest petrol pricing template found on the website was that of March 6, 2020.

Meanwhile, in place of the new template, the PPPRA website said: “Please be informed that published prices are indicative of current market trend”.

Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), Group General Manager, Group Public Affairs Division, Dr. Kennie Obateru was yet to get to back to THE NATION too.

His mobile rang out several times without pick up.
But the Corporation, on its official twitter handle, insisted there would be no price increase of petrol in March 2021.

Who do we believe. Nigerians are calling to know the true state of affairs with the new price regime considering the suffering in the land with economic downtrun.
