Speaking to SaharaReporters on the phone on Thursday, IPMAN National President Chinedu Okoronkwo said that since the abolition of the subsidy on Premium Motor Spirit, also known as gasoline by the Nigerian government led by President Bola Tinubu, the fuel pump price is no longer is determined by the government but by market forces and the dollar to naira exchange rate.
Turning to speculation that the petrol pump price could rise to N1,000 in December, the IPMAN boss said he cannot verify the exact amount the fuel price will reach.
