Why Nigerians Should Prepare For Higher Fuel Prices — Oil Marketers

The President of the Petroleum Products Retail Outlets Owners Association of Nigeria, Billy Gilly-Harry, has warned of a possible hike in the price of Premium Motor Spirit (petrol) in the coming days.

Despite Dangote Refinery commencing petrol production, Gilly-Harry stated that the current price of around ₦600 per liter is unsustainable due to the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited’s struggles to maintain adequate supply nationwide.

Gilly-Harry advised Nigerians to prepare for market-dictated prices, stressing the need to address the reality of the situation rather than playing politics.

NNPCL had admitted to owing its petrol suppliers $6 billion, contributing to fuel queues across the country.

Gilly-Harry praised NNPCL’s transparency but noted the situation remains challenging for retail outlet owners, amplifying the need for innovative solutions to address the crisis.
