Reports are emerging that the pump price of petrol has increased to between N930 and N970 per litre in some parts of Lagos and its outskirts as against the former price of N865 per litre.

This may not be unconnected to the recent revelations by oil marketers that the landing cost of imported petrol has increased by N88 per litre in one week amid reports of an increase in the importation of the commodity.
