What happened
The Federal Government announced plans to meet with refiners, depot operators, fuel marketers, and retail outlet owners in Abuja to discuss competitive pricing for petrol and other petroleum products. The consultation follows a sharp rise in petrol prices in Abuja, which reached between N1,395 and N1,450 a litre. This discussion takes place against a backdrop of international crude prices falling by more than 3% in the preceding days.
