Petrol price hits N998 per litre in Lagos

The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC) has increased the price of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) or petrol, from N855 per litre to N998 per litre across its retail outlets in Lagos.

This represents a 12.7 percent or N113 per liter increase from the price it sold as at yesterday.

The price increase kicked in early this morning, catching motorists off guards.
