The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) mega station in Lafia, Nasarawa State, north central Nigeria, has commenced the sale of Dual Purpose Kerosene (DPK) after over two months of unavailability of the product.
The Station Manager, Zubairu Bala, said that the last time the product was supplied was in November 2015.
He confirmed the increase in price from 50 Naira to 83 Naira per litre, following the removal of subsidy on kerosene by the Federal Government.
Mr Bala appealed to the Federal Government to make the supply of the product constant as the demand is increasing by the day.
While some of their customers appealed that the government should reduce the price of the product to alleviate their sufferings, others said the price is not as important as government making the product available always.
Mr Zubairu gave the assurance that the sale will continue until the available product is finished.
