What happened

Well supportedReported by 10 independent outlets

The Federal Government announced a 30-day discount on petrol sold at Nigerian National Petroleum Company Ltd. retail stations, offering a N66 per litre reduction to motorists. The Minister of Finance, Taiwo Oyedele, stated that this initiative is a 'margin discount' and not a return to a petrol subsidy. Dangote Petroleum Refinery also reduced its gantry petrol price by N25 per litre.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The discount comes following the Federal Government's removal of the fuel subsidy. The government is also negotiating a ceiling of N1,350 per litre on the ex-gantry or landing cost of petrol to stabilize pump prices. Public transport operators are prioritized under the discount arrangement.
