In a statement, the NNPCL maintained that the discount in fuel prices is a customer relief initiative and does not represent the reintroduction of petroleum subsidy.
According to the statement, the initiative applies to NNPC Retail outlets and does not establish a uniform national pump price or alter the market-based pricing framework applicable to petroleum products.
It urges the public to disregard any interpretation of this discount as a subsidy restoration.
