Currently, the dollar stands at approximately N800, and in a deregulated system, the price of commodities is determined by their respective costs. Considering that our nation relies on imports for petroleum refining, it becomes evident that every aspect of the process incurs additional expenses,&#8221; Okoronkwo clarified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Going by this, the price of petrol is expected to fall only if naira gains in the foreign exchange market or if Nigeria stops importing fuel, perhaps, by refining its own fuel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) yesterday announced a new fuel price of N617 per litre as against the initial N500 and the Independent Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN) has explained the reason for this current increase.
