The Petroleum Products Pricing Regulatory Agency on Tuesday increased the ex-depot price of petrol by N6 to N138.62/litre for the month of August 2020.
The Vice President, Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria, Abubakar Maigandi, said that the PPPRA, however, did not tell marketers the new pump price for petrol.
"He said that the ex-depot price is now N138.62/litre but were silent on the pump price, and I think that by tomorrow (Wednesday) the pump price will be announced," he said.
Maigandi added, "With the N6/litre increase in ex-depot price, the projection is that the pump price will be around N149/litre or N150/litre, based on our usual computations."
The previous ex-depot price, according to marketers, was between N132/litre and N133/litre.
