NNPC Limited on Tuesday morning increased its petrol pump price to N617 per litre from N537 in Abuja.
Several marketers which had opened and sold at the old rate have also joined in raising their pump price.
NNPCL has not given any reason for the latest price increase following the deregulation of the downstream sector of the Nigerian oil and gas industry.
President Bola Tinubu had on May 29, during his inauguration speech said there was no budget to continue the payment of subsidies on petrol.
