The Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Limited has increased petrol price to N992 per litre in Lagos, and N955 per litre in Abuja.
TheNewsMatrics reports that the new price took effect on Monday across several NNPC retail outlets in both cities.
The price hike reflects an increase of N127 in Lagos from the previous rate of N865 per litre, and a N65 increase in Abuja from the previous price of N890 per litre.
At the NNPC filling station in Ago Palace in Lagos, the price of petrol increased to N992 per litre.
In Abuja, the product sells for N955 per litre at the NNPC outlet in the Federal Housing Authority, Kubwa, while another station along Komolafe Road, Lugbe, increased the commodity to N955 per litre.
The adjustment marks a reversal of the price reduction implemented on August 15, when NNPC lowered petrol prices to N865 per litre in Lagos and N890 per litre in Abuja.
It was not immediately clear why the pump prices were adjusted.
