  "summary": "The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) has raised the price of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) fuel by N85 per litre, with new prices ranging from N1,395 to N1,430 per litre in Abuja and surrounding areas. This adjustment follows an increase in MRS filling stations' petrol prices to N1,395 per litre, coinciding with a rise in Brent and West Texas Intermediate crude oil prices to $107 and $103 per barrel, respectively, due to recent strikes between Iran and the United States. The price hike is currently being implemented at NNPCL outlets across Nigeria's capital and its environs, including locations such as Airport Junction, Gwarinpa, Kubwa Expressway, and Wuse Zone 4.",
