A pump attendant at Kubwa told TheCable that the petrol price was reduced on Monday afternoon.
More so, at the NNPC retail branch at Irawo, Ransco bus stop, Ikorodu road, the price of the product stood at N860
At the retail outlet along Idimu Road, the pump price of petrol also dropped to N860.
On February 13, NNPC had reduced pump price solely in Lagos from N960 per litre to N945 per litre.
The current reduction comes less than a week after Dangote Petroleum Refinery slashed its ex-depot price petrol to N825 – second cut in February.
