According to Guardian, the upward review of the price of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) is effective from Tuesday, July 19, 2022.
The upward review was contained in a notice to fuel marketers by the NNPC, directing them to change the petrol price on pumps to the new price immediately.

The moving is coming after weeks of petrol scarcity across the country as retailers adopted different fuel pump prices to force unofficial deregulation attempts.
