Billy Harry, the association’s National President, disclosed this at its strategic meeting and award presentation in Abuja.

“We are still hoping and pushing that it will still come down low.”

Harry expressed confidence that the competition generated by the free market will help bring down petrol prices in the future, the Nation reports.

He further clarified that the structure of NNPCL’s sales process makes it more favourable for retail outlet owners to purchase smaller quantities of fuel, Punch reports.

His words:

“We are very close to NNPC because we can go there, buy one product, sell it quickly, and then come back. But if we have to buy two million litres, we must do so collectively.”

He also revealed that NNPCL had opened its portal for marketers to begin lifting products.

“As I speak to you, they (NNPCL) are already programming for us on the current price.
“So, we are not going to start importing if there is product available.”
Dangote petrol price

Meanwhile, Legit earlier reported that the Dangote Refinery and Petrochemicals recently announced a reduction in its petrol product N970 per litre.

A Nigerian man shared his happiness after Dangote Refinery announced that it had reduced the cost of petrol.

In a post he made on X, the man, Aliyu Yakubu thanked Alhaji Aliko Dangote for reducing the price of petrol.

He was reacting to Dangote Group’s post announcing the change in petrol price from N990 to N970 for independent marketers lifting the product at the refinery.
