The increase in petrol price comes days after the Nigeria-owned oil company cried out that its operations of solely importing refined petrol into the country have been hit hard.

NNPC, in its statement on Sunday, admitted also that it is finding it hard to meet its financial obligations to International Oil Companies (IOCs).

The upward adjustment was amid a petrol scarcity which continues to affect business activities nationwide.
