NNPCL's Petrol Discount Praised by Coalition for Good Governance

The Coalition for Good Governance (CGG) has commended the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) for its N66-per-litre petrol discount, describing it as a timely relief for Nigerians. This discount, which commenced on 1 October 2026 to celebrate Nigeria’s 66th Independence Anniversary, will remain in effect until 31 October 2026.

The coalition, represented by Comrade Danjuma Bello, stated that this initiative helps alleviate the financial burden of high transport and living costs exacerbated by rising global crude oil prices. The coalition emphasized that the discount is a corporate responsibility measure funded from NNPCL's retail margin, not public resources, and it prioritizes public transport operators.

Motorists using the NNPC Fuel App at participating stations are already experiencing savings. The coalition urged other industry players to adopt similar measures to support the economy, asserting that this initiative is not a return to subsidy but a responsible corporate action prioritizing citizens' welfare.
