The Nigerian Government has decided to clamp down on filling stations selling Premium Motor Spirit (PMS); above the N165 agreed pump price as Nigeria’s fuel scarcity lingers for another week.

This was disclosed in a statement by M. Farouk Ahmed, Authority Chief Executive, Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA); after a joint inspection of fuel stations in Abuja.

The agency said that the pump price of PMS was still N165 per liter and that the FG has not changed its decision.
