CITIZENS COMPASS –Effective Monday, December 23, 2024, the price of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), will drop to N935 per litre.
This is according to the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN) in view of Dangote Refinery’s new arrangement.
IPMAN said the new price was necessitated by the reduction in Dangote Refinery’s fuel ex-depot price and uniform arrangement, which would enable marketers to sell at N935 in their outlets nationwide.
Alhaji Maigandi Garima, IPMAN National President, who made this known on Sunday in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja, lauded the Dangote refinery for the development.
NAN reports that Dangote refinery recently announced a significant reduction in fuel price by 7.27 per cent from N970 per litre to N899.50 per litre at its loading gantry and provided generous credit terms to marketers.
