“I did not authorise fuel increse message -NNPC Retail MD, Huub Stokman…. urges public to disregard

In a swift response to the widespread news of a fuel price hike, the Managing Director of NNPC Retail, Huub Stokman, has denied authorizing the message announcing the increase.

The message, which circulated widely on social media and among fuel station owners, claimed that the pump price of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) had been increased from N617/liter to N897/liter, effective immediately.

However, in a short message to Journalists, Stokman clarified that the message was not sent by the company and should be disregarded.
