Bayelsa Orders Fuel Stations Not To Sell Petrol Above N230

The Petroleum Products Pricing Agency (PPPRA) has removed its latest Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) petrol pricing template of N212.61 per litre from its website.

This followed outcry on the social media as the story of an upward review of the pump price went viral on Friday morning.

Its spokesperson, Folasade Kayode, declined comments on the removal of the new template from the website.

The PPPRA has removed not only the latest template but even those of early 2021.

The latest petrol pricing template found on the website was that of March 6, 2020.

Meanwhile, in place of the new template, the PPPRA website said: “Please be informed that published prices are indicative of current market trend.”

The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) on its official twitter handle insisted there would be no price increase of petrol in March 2021.

BREAKING: Old Naira Notes Deadline Stays - Emefiele

CBN Governor Godwin Emefiele

The Central Bank of Nigeria ( CBN) on Thursday denied devaluing the naira .

This clarification came from the
Acting Director, Corporate Communication, Dr. Isa AbdulMumin, in a statement titled, “CBN Has Not Devalued the Naira”.

He said: “The attention of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has been drawn to a news report… titled “CBN Devalues Naira To 630/31”.

“We wish to state categorically that this news report, which in the imagination of the newspaper is exclusive, is replete with outright FALSEHOODS and destabilizing innuendos, reflecting potentially willful ignorance of the said medium as to the workings of the Nigerian Foreign Exchange Market.

“For the avoidance of doubt, the exchange rate at the Investors’ & Exporters’ (I&E) window traded this moming (June 1, 2023) at N465/US$1 and has been stable around this rate for a while.”

The bank advised the public to ignore the news report in its entirety, saying it’s speculative and calculated at causing panic in the market.
