A Nigerian man has reacted with joy after reading the news that NNPCL is now selling petrol at a cheaper rate.

Tom Alims shared a screenshot of the news on Facebook and said he hopes the prices reduce further within the week.

According to Tom, he was hoping for the day that PMS would be sold at N500 per litre.

His words:

"Interesting times to be a Nigerian. Before weekend, most NNPC fueling Stations across the nation will adjust their prices. I can't wait for when prices will crash to less than N500."

Some people who saw the post argued that the price reduction was due to the healthy competition between NNPC and the private sector led by Dangote Refinery.
