According to report, the N4 increase will apply to all the NNPC's mega stations.
Until now, NNPC have sold petrol at N141 per litre at all its mega stations.
Reacting to this, spokesman for the NNPC, Garba Deen Muhammad said:"There was no rule that compels any marketer including the NNPC to sell at a particular price. A price regime was introduced between N135 and N145. So, you can sell anywhere within that range. What you are seeing is interplay of market forces."
