Motorists hoping to take advantage of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited’s (NNPC) ₦66-per-litre fuel price cut will now have to go through an extra hurdle: downloading a mobile app.
The state-owned oil firm confirmed that the discounted rate is strictly accessible to drivers who process their petrol payments through its designated digital application.
The decision has triggered widespread criticism on social media, particularly on X (formerly Twitter). Many Nigerians are voicing frustration over the requirement, asking if saving a modest ₦66 per litre is worth the hassle of installing another app, dealing with network delays at filling stations, and navigating digital payment systems.
