The few Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) retail outlets that were opened sold the product for N617 per litre amid endless queues.

Besides, black marketers sold 10 litres for N850 in plastic containers.

He said it will culminate in complete stoppage of the haulage of the product.
