A terse WhatsApp message doing the rounds reveal that NNPCL has officially issued the rate of pump price as applicable across the country based on regions and zones.
The messages read this:
“DEAR ALL. Following Management approval of the Upward review of NNPC PMS pump price as in below table for Mega/Standard/Leased Stations, Please find below schedules for the RMSs and Wayne to handle.
“Please implement meter change as approved effective today 31st May 2023. Wayne is to attend to all locations as relates to their area of coverage in our network.”
This is coming in spite of a scheduled roundtable meeting between the Federal Government and labour unions today in Abuja.
Recall that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, on Monday shortly after taking his oath of office, reaffirmed the removal of fuel subsidy, saying it wasn’t captured in 2023 fiscal budget.
