Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) pump prices from Dangote Refinery are based on the prevailing exchange rate and price of crude oil.
Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL), Chief Corporate Communications Officer, Mr. Olufemi Soneye, disclosed this in a statement on Monday.
He said the decision is in line with the Petroleum Industry Act (PIA).
