The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) says it has no plan to raise the pump price per litre of Premium Motor Spirit also known as petrol.
In a terse statement on Monday night, the company urged Nigerians to disregard speculations of a fresh hike in price of the premium product.
The President of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Joe Ajaero, had on Monday, warned the NNPCL against fresh petrol price hike.
