NNPC Offers 30-Day Petrol Discount for Motorists

The federal government has introduced a 30-day discount on petrol sold by the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) stations, as announced by Finance Minister Taiwo Oyedele. This initiative, which began on October 1 to commemorate Nigeria's 66th Independence Anniversary, is available at NNPC Retail stations nationwide throughout October.

The discount is specifically aimed at public transport operators, who will receive priority under this initiative. Motorists can access the discount by downloading and registering on the NNPC Fuel App, which is the only method to benefit from the price reduction.

The discount is applied per litre purchased and varies by location; for instance, petrol prices at NNPC stations in Abuja and Lagos are N1,370 and N1,350 per litre respectively, translating to discounted prices of N1,304 and N1,284 for app users. NNPC clarified that this offer is a customer relief measure and not a reinstatement of the petrol subsidy.
